About this map

The Maquoketa River winds through this section of eastern Iowa, defining a landscape marked by small rural settlements and a dense network of family cemeteries. The town of Baldwin serves as a central hub, containing the Baldwin Post Office and the Baldwin Catholic Cemetery. To the south and east, smaller locales like Millrock, Nashville, and Buckhorn are connected by a grid of township roads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites across the township, including the Foley Farm Cemetery, Hershberger Cemetery, and Dickman Cemetery. The terrain is drained by several named waterways, such as Bear Creek, Pumpkin Creek, and Prairie Creek, which have influenced the placement of early homesteads and these quiet rural hamlets. The map captures the enduring agricultural character of the region before further modern consolidation.
