1971 Map of Monona
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Monona serves as the primary hub of this corner of northeast Iowa, where the Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul and Pacific rail line cuts through the landscape. The geography is defined by the transition between the rolling farmland of Monona and Grand Meadow townships and the more dissected terrain near the Yellow River and Hickory Creek. Smaller settlements like Luana and the tiny hamlet of Hardin on the Allamakee and Clayton County line reveal the area's agricultural roots. Genealogists will find several burial sites including Pioneer Cem, Hardin Cem, and Luana Cem. The presence of several quarries and watercourses like Silver Creek suggests a landscape shaped by both industry and the drainage patterns of the Paleozoic Plateau.
