About this map

Warsaw sits atop the river bluffs in this mid-1960s study, overlooking the intricate channel of the Mississippi River. The map illustrates a complex riparian landscape where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad tracks skirt the western shoreline through Gregory Landing and Alexandria. The contrast between the flat, slough-carved bottomlands to the west and the dissected uplands of Wilcox and Rocky Run to the east is starkly defined by the Bluff Canal.

Genealogical and local history details are numerous, including the Rockford Sch, Oakland Cemetery, and Green Plain Cem. The town of Warsaw itself is depicted with significant detail, showing the Warsaw Airport, Calumet Springs, and several denominational landmarks like the Catholic Ch and Lutheran Cem. The presence of the Toledo and Western line and a Quarry near the northern boundary reflects the era's transport and industrial footprint.
