About this map

The Turkey River and its tributaries, including Otter Cr and Chihaks Cr, carve a complex drainage pattern across this Howard and Winneshiek County landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of rural cemeteries that speak to the region's pioneering settlement and family farming heritage. From the Ryan Farm Cem and Ladwig Farm Cem to the German Methodist Cem and Saint Johns Lutheran Cem, these sites are preserved alongside modern section-line roads like Co HWY a34 and Madison Rd.

In the northeast corner, the southeastern edge of Cresco is visible, while Ridgeway anchors the eastern edge of the survey. The terrain features notable landmarks such as Steamboat Rock and follows the transition between townships like t99n r11w and t98n r10w. The map provides an exceptionally clear view of the rural township structure and the distribution of historic burial grounds throughout the countryside.
