1968 Map of Scales Mound East

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The village of Scales Mound and the rural hamlet of Schapville anchor this late-1960s survey of Jo Daviess County. The landscape is characterized by prominent geological rises such as Hudson Mound, Squirrel Grove Mound, and Mt Sumner, which overlook a complex drainage network including the Apple River and the provocatively named Hells Branch. These elevations reflect the driftless nature of the region, where the terrain was never flattened by glacial activity, leaving behind a dissected plateau of deep valleys and high ridges like Pea Ridge.
