About this map

The Mississippi River dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, carving a complex network of channels and backwaters around Island Number One Hundred Forty-three and Island Number One Hundred Forty-six. The town of Lansing sits at the river's edge, anchored by the Black Hawk Bridge and the Lansing Post Office, while the surrounding terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes.

Genealogists and local historians can trace several rural burial sites, including Gethsemane Cemetery, Oak Hill Cemetery, and Heminway Cemetery. Further inland, the settlement of Village Creek is marked by the Capoli Mill and Village Creek Cemetery, showing the historic reliance on local water power. Small crossroads like Thompson Corner and prominent geographic features like Mooney Ridge further illustrate the distribution of agricultural life in Allamakee County during the early 21st century.
