About this map

The town of Cascade straddles the county line between Dubuque and Jones, established along a bend of the North Fork Maquoketa River. This survey illustrates the community's layout and its network of local roads such as Farley Rd and Riverview Rd that connect the town to the surrounding agricultural landscape. The river system is a defining element, with several tributaries including Johns Cr, Farm Cr, Jordan Cr, and Tibbetts Cr draining the undulating hills of the region.

For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several significant burial sites that reflect the area's religious heritage. These include Saint Marys Catholic Cem, Saint Martins Catholic Cem, and the Cascade Protestant Cem all within the town vicinity. Farther afield, the Bowens Prairie Cem and Zion Reform Cem serve as markers for rural congregations and early family settlements in the township.
