2013 Map of Baldwin

About this map

Maquoketa Caves Natural Bridge stands as a prominent geological landmark in this northeast Iowa landscape, situated just north of the winding Maquoketa River. The 2013 survey illustrates a rural corridor defined by small settlements and an intricate network of waterways and county roads. The town of Baldwin serves as a central hub, while smaller locales like Nashville, Buckhorn, and the settlement of Millrock are distributed along the primary transit routes. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous tributaries including Bear Creek, Rat Run, and Pumpkin Creek, which feed into the larger river system. To the south, the landscape opens into broader agricultural plains drained by Prairie Creek near the community of Burgess. This map provides a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure and land use patterns in Jackson County, capturing the relationship between the natural drainage basins and the established road grid.
