EAGLE POINT, DUBUQUE AND GRANT COUNTY FERRY. In 1884 a company with a capital of one hundred thousand dollars was formed to make important improvements at and near Eagle Point. They cut a canal 350 feet long and 40 feet wide through the island opposite Eagle Point and constructed piling to the mainland at Smeed's bottom. They had docks and a ferry boat in operation. This was called the Eagle Point, Dubuque & Grant County Ferry.
