THE "THOUSAND ISLANDS" OF SAVANNA. 



As we ride along the river road to the north of Savanna, the scenery- 

 becomes most delightful. Stop near the "Indian Head" and look across 

 the river to the Iowa side. There we see many beautiful islands surrounded 

 by the calm blue waters of the Father of Waters. The bright green color 

 of the plant life is very pleasing to the tourist. Between the islands may 

 be found a paradise for fishermen, and on the islands, ideal sites for camping.

THE INDIAN HEAD. 



About two miles north of Savanna 

 is the famous Indian Head. It is a 

 rock formation about seventy-five feet 

 high. Its aquiline nose and prominent 

 cheek bones make it visible for miles. 



Two small trees growing upon its 

 crown, give it the appearance of wear- 

 ing the feathered head-dress of the 

 Indian. 



When viewed from below, it is just 

 a jumble of rocks; but looked at from 

 a distance it is the image of an Indian. 



In summer, tourists drive along the 

 river road and gaze at the Head 

 which appears to a great advantage 

 against a background of green trees 

 and shrubs.
