About this map

The Mississippi River creates a complex landscape of islands and sloughs along the border of Iowa and Wisconsin, with the settlement of Guttenberg situated on the western bank. This riverfront character is defined by a series of named landmasses including French Island, McMillan Island, and Goetz Island, separated by channels like the State Line Slough. Local infrastructure supports both recreation and regional government, from the French Town Lake Access to the Guttenberg Post Office.

Genealogical interest is found in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the bluffs and bottoms, such as Mount Olivet Cemetery and Scott Cemetery. The map also captures specialized riverside facilities like the Iowa State Fish Aquarium and Hatchery and small-scale aviation at Abels Island Airport. In the Wisconsin hills to the east, the village of Glen Haven connects to the river valley via Rock School Rd, illustrating the intersection of bluff-top farming and river-valley transport.
