Scenic Folder of Northeast Iowa - A
splendid Piece of Work Advertising Clayton and Allamakee Counties
A fine piece of work has been issued, compiled by the Northeast
Iowa Press association, with the travel bureau located at Elkader.
J.A. Druyor of the Elkader Register, was chairman of the
committee that issued the map and folder. It is entitled the
"Little Switzerland of America." The work represented a
great deal of detail and painstaking effort in compiling, the
printing being done in a most artistic manner in colors. It was
first planned to include Fayette and Winneshiek counties in this
folder also, but lack of financial support made this impossible,
hence the two Iowa counties and two across the river in Wisconsin
make up the folder.
The map itself shows the rivers, the railroads, the highways of
these four counties, and in addition to that are pictured some of
the various attractions that may be seen at the various towns in
these counties. It is surprising to note from the face of the map
on which the scenes appear, how many wonders there are to be
found in these two counties. Even old timers living here have
forgotten a good many of them. Then on the reverse side of the
map is a descripton of the beauties and wonders to be found.
These descriptions include Marquette, McGregor, Postville,
Strawberry Point, Edgewood, Elkader, Lansing, Waukon and
guttenberg in Iowa, and Prairie du chien in Wisconsin. After a
brief outline of the entire section the following points of
interest are brought out from the various towns:
Marquette - Pontoon bridge, scenic drive, Oakcrest, Indian
Mounds, Old Military trail, Suspension bridge.
McGregor - Indians, Wild Life School, McGregor Heights, Pikes
Peak, Pictured Rocks, Sand Art, Lotus Lillies, Boating, Aquarium,
Bird Museum and Gold Course.

Of course there are many more but these are the outstanding items
mentioned. There are numerous scenes portrayed of varied
interest. Everyone should secure a copy of this beautiful
brochure, and it will aid them materially in picking out their
sunday drives and help to disseminate the information contained
among their friends from a distance.
