1968 Map of Waukon NW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Upper Iowa River cuts a deep, winding path through the dissected plateau of Allamakee County, defining the rural character of this borderland area just south of the Minnesota-Iowa state line. In the late 1960s, the landscape was primarily defined by its drainage systems, including the steep-sided valleys of Waterloo Creek, Clear Creek, and French Creek. This survey captures the sparse but established social infrastructure of the time, centered around community landmarks like the Townhall and local religious sites. Genealogists can identify significant burial grounds such as St Johns Ch Cem in the northeast and Mt Hope Ch Cem near the river, while a local Quarry indicates the small-scale extractive activity characteristic of the region's geology. The map also delineates the civil boundaries of Union City and Hanover townships, providing a clear view of the area's jurisdictional layout before modern developments.
