About this map

The Mississippi River creates a sprawling network of side channels and islands along the border of Iowa and Wisconsin, dominated by Pool 10. On the western bank, the town of Guttenberg is situated along the riverfront, characterized by its grid of streets and the Guttenberg Cem and Mount Olivet Cem on its southern edge. The river landscape is exceptionally complex here, featuring numerous named landforms like French Island, Abel-Essman Island, and McMillan Island, alongside waterways such as State Line Slough and Ferry Slough.

Across the river in Wisconsin, the terrain rises sharply into the bluffs, where Glen Haven serves as a small hub amidst the high ground. The uplands are dotted with rural landmarks including Scott Cem and Gockel Cem, connected by a winding network of roads like Rock School Rd and Squirrel Hollow Rd. This survey documents a river-dependent geography where aviation, represented by the GAA Private Airport, and traditional river navigation intersect with the steep topography of Walnut Bluff.
