1953 Map of Toolesboro

About this map

The confluence of the Mississippi River and the Iowa River defines this riverfront landscape, where complex sloughs and chutes separate numerous islands. This mid-century environment is dominated by the Mark Twain National Wildlife Refuge and the expansive waters of Lake Odessa, punctuated by critical river infrastructure like Dam and Lock No 17. Human settlement is concentrated in Toolesboro and New Boston, locations that reveal a reliance on the river's proximity for transport and drainage.
