1980 Map of Reno

About this map

Richard J Dorer Memorial Hardwood State Forest dominates the high, wooded ridges of Houston County, where the driftless area terrain drops sharply toward the river valley. Along the eastern edge, the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks follow the narrow bench between the bluffs and the extensive wetlands of the Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge. Small settlements and agricultural pockets are tucked into the valleys of Crooked Creek and Winnebago Creek, including the community of Freeburg and the hamlet of Reno.
