1966 Map of Fillmore

About this map

The North Fork Maquoketa River carves a deep, winding path through the southern half of this mid-1960s landscape, meeting the jagged boundaries of Dubuque, Jones, and Jackson counties. The small settlement of Fillmore sits at a crossing of Whitewater Creek, serving as a focal point near the Fillmore Recreation Area. Further west, the town of Cascade straddles the county line, showing its 1960s footprint along the riverbanks. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, including Prairie Creek, Canyon Creek, and Johns Creek, which create a complex system of ridges and valleys typical of the region's topography. Evidence of local industry appears at a Quarry situated along a bend in the creek, while the presence of the Fifth Principal Meridian provides a primary reference for the surrounding township grid of Whitewater, Washington, and Butler.
