The Mississippi River dominates this early 1960s landscape, serving as the fluid border between Clayton County, Iowa, and Grant County, Wisconsin. The river's industrial and ecological role is evident through the massive Lock and Dam No 10 at Guttenberg and the sprawling Upper Mississippi River Wildlife and Fish Refuge that covers the complex network of sloughs and islands. On the Iowa side, the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad hugs the shoreline, while the Wisconsin bank is traced by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy line, reflecting a time when rail and river traffic were the primary pulses of the region.
