2015 Map of Arlington

About this map

Arlington sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the street grid of Upper St and High St meets the rural agricultural sections of Fayette and Buchanan counties. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of the Maquoketa River and its various tributaries, including Bruce Cr and Brush Cr, which carve through the Iowa prairie. This modern survey reflects a deeply established rural infrastructure, where a grid of section-line roads like 80th St and G Ave connects small centers like Maryville and the town of Aurora. Researchers will find significant genealogical sites such as Arlington Cem and Union Cem, alongside local landmarks like the S Fork Maquoketa River. The map illustrates the transition from organized municipal centers to the sprawling farmsteads that characterize this part of Northeast Iowa.
