2010 Map of Castle Rock

About this map

Eureka Center and Castle Rock anchor this agricultural landscape in southern Dakota County, where the topography is defined by the winding course of the Vermillion River and Chub Creek. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Greenwood Cemetery in the north and the Solar Lutheran Cemetery further south, providing essential data points for local genealogists. The presence of several private landing strips, such as Curry Airport, Le Nores Airport, and Nielsens Airport, suggests a legacy of general aviation integrated with the area's farming operations. The township grid is well-established by a network of numbered and named roads like Hamburg Ave and Cedar Ave, which navigate the terrain around Chub Lake and its associated wetlands. This survey captures the transition of traditional rural townships as they maintain their agrarian character while serving as a satellite to the expanding northern suburbs.
