1962 Map of Zwingle

About this map

Zwingle and La Motte anchor this rural landscape along the Dubuque Co Jackson Co border, where the terrain is deeply etched by Lytle Creek and Otter Creek. A notable feature for local historians is the Old Railroad Grade cutting through the center of the sheet, tracing a transit corridor that once linked these small agricultural communities. The map captures a high density of rural institutions, including St Theresa Ch, Assumption Ch, and Holy Rosary Cem, suggesting a community closely tied to its parish centers.
