1964 Map of Littleport

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Turkey River and Volga River dominate this Clayton County landscape, carving deep, winding paths through the northeastern Iowa countryside. In the mid-1960s, the small settlement of Littleport sits at the southern edge of the survey, while the historic community of Communia and the riverside site of Motor represent the area's early European settlement patterns. The map detail highlights several agricultural and resource extraction sites, including numerous quarries scattered near the river bluffs. Genealogists can locate established burial grounds such as St Joseph Cem and Communia Cem, which serve the local townships of Read, Boardman, and Garnavillo. The rugged relief of the area is further defined by named drainages like Panther Creek and secluded valleys such as Pine Hollow and Beddows Hollow, reflecting the region's complex hydrology and traditional rural character.
