Herbert Hoover - A Boyhood in Iowa
...The swimming-hole under the willows down by the railroad bridge is still operating efficiently, albeit modern mothers probably compel their youngsters to take a bath to get rid of clean and healthy mud when they come home.

And there were the woods down the Burlington track. ... [Read More]
IA DNR: Iowa Fishing Report
Walleye and sauger fishing is good in Pools 9 to 11 for anglers trolling crankbaits, willow cats (madtoms) or a leech along the wing dams and side sloughs. Better walleye and sauger fishing can be found in Blackhawk Park (Pool 9) and the Lynxville area (Pool 10). A few walleyes are being caught off the wing dams in Pools 12 to 15. Fish the wing dams tight to shore (areas with less current) using crankbaits, night crawlers or leeches on a 3-way. Bluegills are being taken in areas just outside of the main current in shallow water in Pools 9 to 11. A small night crawler on a simple hook has been working well. As water levels continue to recede, bluegills will move into rocky areas with some current. Try fishing for bluegills in the Sny Magill area in Pool 10-especially in Norwegian and Methodist lakes. Fishing for freshwater drum has been good in Pools 9 to 15. Use a night crawler and fish for freshwater drum in the side sloughs, wing dams, tailwater areas and sand flats off the main chan ...

History and Contaminants at Marshalltown"
The glacial drift unconformably overlies Mississippian-age limestone and Pennsylvanian shale bedrock. The limestone units encountered immediately below the alluvial sediments at the site are identified in Remedial Investigation Report: Marshalltown, Iowa, Former Manufactured Gas Plant Site (BVWST 1992). as a part of the Mississippian Burlington and Gilmore City Formations and are part of the regional Mississippian aquifer. Outcrops are rare, but several are reported along railroad cuts and stream channels in the Marshalltown area. The former bedrock erosional surface is incised by multiple minor channels tributary to the pre-glaciation channel of the Iowa River, referred to as the Poweshiek Channel. The Poweshiek Channel more or less follows the general trend of the present Iowa River floodplain and varies from one to two miles in width (Hansen, 1985). The City of Marshalltown is situated above a bedrock knob located south of the Poweshiek Channel. The FMGP site itself is situated over ... [Read More]
