1957 Map of Turkey River

About this map

The confluence of the Turkey River and the Mississippi River dominates this mid-century survey of the Iowa-Wisconsin borderlands. Steep bluffs and deep-cut ravines like Adams Mill Hollow and Cherry Valley define the landscape, which is largely preserved within the Upper Mississippi River Wildlife and Fish Refuge. The settlement of Millville sits nestled at the junction of the main river and the Little Turkey River, while the rail corridor of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific traces the winding riverbank. This map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure of Clayton County, including family-named sites such as Andregg Hollow and local landmarks like Goshen Ch. The southern portion of the map showcases the protected timber of White Pine Hollow State Park, a stark contrast to the active industrial traces like the Quarry near the Millville township line.
