1968 Map of Galena
USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
The town of Galena is situated at the center of this 1968 topographic survey, where the Galena River cuts through the driftless-area terrain of Jo Daviess County. The map documents a landscape defined by its mineral history and river-based transport, showing the legacy of lead and zinc mining through labels like the Appleton Mine and various mines and gravel pits scattered across the Rawlins and East Galena townships. Prominent elevations such as Horseshoe Mound and Pilot Knob provide distinct landmarks overlooking the complex drainage systems of the Mississippi River, where Deadmans Slough and Harris Slough wind through the Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge.
