1936 Map of Keokuk
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
Keokuk Dam stands as the central engineering feat of this mid-1930s landscape, bridging the Mississippi River and creating the broad expanse of Keokuk Lake. The river's influence is evident in the dense network of wetlands and secondary channels along the Illinois shore, including Mud Slough, Taylor Slough, and Kaufman Slough which wrap around Hackley Island and Taylor Island. On the high ground, the townships of Sonora, Montebello, and Warsaw are defined by a remarkably dense system of rural schools, such as Froggy Sch, White Brick Sch, and Sylvanvale Sch, reflecting the community structure of Hancock County before school consolidation.
