About this map

The Upper Iowa River winds through this Allamakee County landscape, providing a central drainage for the numerous creeks that define the local topography. At the northern bend of the river, Hansens Ford Bridge serves as a notable crossing point near the mouth of Patterson Cr. The map details the rural character of Northeast Iowa, anchored by the small settlement of Hanover and the community of Washington Prairie to the southwest.

A network of local roads, many bearing family and topographic names like Ferris Mill Rd, Lundy Bridge Rd, and Skaime Hollow Dr, connects the high ridges and valley bottoms. The drainage patterns of Canoe Cr, Coon Cr, and Teeple Cr illustrate the deeply dissected nature of the terrain, where agricultural land often follows the flatter sections of Old Highway 9 and the plateaus between the steep-sided creek beds.
