1966 Map of Ferryville

About this map

The Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge dominates this stretch of the river, where a complex network of channels like Minnesota Slough and Winneshiek Slough separate the Wisconsin and Iowa banks. Two major rail lines, the Chicago Burlington and Quincy RR and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific RR, follow the respective shorelines, defining the industrial and transport corridor during the mid-1960s.
