About this map

The Turkey River winds through the southern reaches of this Northeast Iowa landscape, where the border between Winneshiek Co and Fayette Co divides a region defined by its deep stream valleys and high ridge farming. Castalia sits in the northern portion of the map, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural road network that follows the township and range lines. To the south, the terrain becomes more complex as Dibble Cr, Fitzgerald Cr, and Nutting Cr carve through the limestone-rich topography toward the river valley.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites established by early settlers, including Bloomfield Cem, Pleasant View Cem, and Nutting Cem near the river. Near the southern edge, the settlement of Clermont appears along the banks of the river, accompanied by Saint Peters Cem. The map provides a contemporary view of this agricultural corridor, tracing how modern routes like Centennial Rd and Co Hwy B40 interface with the traditional rural grid.
