1981 Map of Freeport

About this map

Upper Iowa River meanders through the heart of this Winneshiek County landscape, carving deep loops through the terrain of Pleasant and Glenwood townships. The settlement of Freeport serves as a local hub near the river's edge, surrounded by recreation and conservation sites like the Upper Iowa River Access Area and Merlin Moe Park. The distribution of rural landmarks suggests a long-established agricultural community, with numerous family and congregation-linked sites such as Pioneer Cem, North Washington Prairie Cem, and Pontoppidan Cem dotting the countryside. To the south, the Decorah Municipal Airport and Oneota Country Club reflect the mid-century expansion of local infrastructure. Natural features define the area's character, from the winding path of Canoe Creek to the geological interests at Glenwood Cave and the many springs feeding the river system.
