About this map

The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this 2012 survey, its main channel braided with numerous islands and side-channels including Huron Chute, Cody Chute, and Mapes Chute. The town of Keithsburg sits at the confluence with Pope Cr, showing a traditional street grid featuring Main St and Washington St. This riverine landscape is rich with distinct islands like Big Cody Island, Blackhawk Island, and Johnson Island, separated by intricate waterways such as Gun Chute and Ziegler Slough.

Away from the water, the terrain rises toward Bald Bluff, while the rural landscape is dotted with small airstrips and agricultural facilities like the Shissler Seed Company Incorporated Airport. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several burial grounds including Keithsburg Cem, Saint Mary's Cem, and the more remote Huron Island Cem, providing a clear record of the area's established landmarks.
