1964 Map of Kingston

About this map

The bluffs of Benton and Huron townships drop sharply into the alluvial lowlands of the Mississippi River, creating a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and intricate water systems. The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts through the western uplands, serving small communities like Latty and passing near the Walker Cem. Along the river’s edge, the hydrology is complex, featuring the Jackson Slough, Running Slough, and numerous islands such as Little Rag Island and Big Dasher Island.
