1964 Map of Nauvoo

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this mid-1960s survey, separating the community of Nauvoo in Hancock County, Illinois, from Montrose and Viele on the Iowa side. This stretch of the river is marked by industrial and transit activity, with both the Chicago Burlington and Quincy and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads running along the banks. An Indian Treaty Boundary line cuts across the northern landscape near Sugar Creek, providing a distinct historical marker of nineteenth-century land division.
