2018 Map of Baldwin

About this map

The Maquoketa River carves a winding path through this corner of eastern Iowa, defining a landscape of bluff-rimmed valleys and upland farms. Near the northern boundary, the Maquoketa Caves Natural Bridge serves as a prominent landmark within a limestone-rich area where Raccoon Cr and Hurstville Br meet the river. The small settlements of Monmouth and Baldwin are established along the East-West road corridor, while smaller localities like Nashville and Buckhorn anchor the surrounding rural sections. This 2018 survey reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Foley Farm Cem, Hershberger Cem, and Reel Cem, providing essential points of interest for those tracing lineage in the region. The boundary between Jackson Co and Clinton Co cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, where the terrain levels out near the headwaters of Pumpkin Cr and Prairie Cr.
