The Mississippi River creates a complex landscape of islands and side channels in this mid-1960s study, where the borders of Iowa and Illinois meet. The village of Lomax serves as a critical rail junction, situated where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads converge near Iowa Junction. The bottomlands are defined by the winding Shokokon Slough and numerous named water bodies like Millman Lake and Fish Lake, illustrating the river's historical influence on the topography before modern levee management fully stabilized the banks.
