2018 Map of Bernard

About this map

Bernard and the surrounding rural townships of Dubuque and Jackson Counties appear in this modern survey, characterized by a complex network of creeks and ridge-top roads. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Lytle Creek and its tributaries, including Buncombe Cr and N Spring Br, which carve through the Iowa countryside. Historically significant nodes like Garry Owen and Washington Mills represent the enduring small-town footprints of the region. Local history is anchored by sites like Saint Patrick's Cem and the Washington Mill Bridge, which spans the water near the settlement of the same name. Notable thoroughfares such as Twelve Mile Rd and the Bellevue-Cascade Rd trace the path of earlier transport routes, connecting these agricultural communities across the rolling terrain of the Driftless Area outskirts.
