USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Mississippi River backwaters and the complex riparian environment of the upper river dominate this mid-century survey. The settlement of New Boston sits at the confluence where the Iowa River enters the main channel, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by seasonal sloughs and islands. The construction of Lock and Dam No 17 represents a significant modification of the waterway, altering the flow near Otter Island and Turkey Island.
