1971 Map of Rossville

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Yellow River carves a deep path through the southern half of this landscape, joined by Williams Creek and Bear Creek as it winds toward the Mississippi. This 1971 survey captures the rural character of Allamakee County, where the settlement of Rossville serves as a local hub near the Rossville Cem. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage systems of Paint Creek to the north and Norfolk Creek to the west, creating a series of high ridges and narrow valleys that dictate the placement of roads and farmsteads. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds including Evergreen Cem and Ebenezer Cem, while the Forest Mills Ch stands as a spiritual landmark near the river. Economic activity is visible in the numerous Quarries and a Quarry dotting the hillsides, illustrating the importance of local stone extraction to the region's development.
