2018 Map of Burr Oak

About this map

Burr Oak and Hesper anchor this northern Winneshiek County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of tributaries feeding into the Upper Iowa River. The area shows a significant concentration of early community landmarks, particularly clustered around the northern settlement of Hesper, where the Hesper Cem, Lutheran Cem, and Hesper Lutheran Cem all lie within close proximity. These sites, along with Salveson Cem to the east and Wilson Cem further south, indicate a long-established rural population rooted in the township's agricultural plateaus.
