1971 Map of Hanover

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Upper Iowa River cuts a deep, winding path through the northern reach of this quadrangle, defining a landscape where drainage systems like Canoe Creek and Patterson Creek dictate the local geography. In the early 1970s, the small settlement of Hanover serves as a focal point near the confluence of Mineral Creek, marked by the presence of St Marys Ch and St Patricks Cem. The map illustrates a rural economy reliant on the land, evidenced by several scattered Quarry sites and established townships like Union Prairie and Frankville. Along the western border, the boundary between Winneshiek and Allamakee Counties follows the rugged divides between these watersheds. Local heritage is deeply rooted in the countryside, with landmarks such as St Johns Ch, East Glenwood Cem, and Mount Olivet Cem situated on the higher ground of the plateaus.
