Fort Madison sits prominently along the bend of the Mississippi River in this detailed survey of Lee County. The city's northern and western expansion is evident, framing the sprawling Iowa State Penitentiary and the Lee County North Courthouse. To the west, the BNSF Railway tracks trace the riverbank, a reminder of the long-standing importance of rail transport to this river town. The landscape beyond the city limits transitions into a series of rolling drainages including Lost Creek and Red Keel Creek, which carve through the agricultural uplands toward the settlement of Denmark in the north.
