USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Mineral Point stands as the primary hub of this Iowa County landscape, its street grid densely packed near the County Fairground and Soldiers Memorial Park. The city is served by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which follows the winding course of Brewery Creek through the rugged driftless terrain. This 1952 survey, with revisions from 1978, illustrates a rural economy transitioning from intensive mining to agriculture. Numerous Quarries dot the hillsides, particularly near the Pecatonica River and Slateford.
