Harpers Ferry sits at the edge of a complex riverine landscape where the Iowa bluffs meet the backwaters of the Mississippi River. This mid-1980s record documents a region defined by extensive public lands and river infrastructure, including the Yellow River State Forest and the Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge. The map reveals the intricate network of sloughs and islands, such as Harpers Island and Taylor Island, that characterize this reach of the river.
