1966 Map of Ferryville
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Mississippi River dominates this mid-1960s landscape, serving as both a state boundary and a complex ecological corridor through the Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge. The map reveals a heavily dissected terrain of high ridges and deep hollows, such as Victory Ridge and Cooley Ridge, which forced settlements and transportation routes into narrow corridors. Two major railroads, the Chicago Burlington and Quincy RR on the Wisconsin bank and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific RR on the Iowa side, flank the river's broad expanse of sloughs and islands like Battle Island and Island No 146. Inland, the survey preserves the locations of rural community centers including Red Mound Sch, Walnut Mound Cem, and the Immaculate Conception Ch, illustrating the persistent agricultural patterns of Crawford Co and Vernon Co before modern consolidation.
