About this map

The village of Dakota serves as a primary hub in this Stephenson County landscape, where the prairie transitions into the drainage systems of Cedar Cr and Winneshiek Cr. To the north, the small settlement of Rock Grove sits near the winding course of Rock Run, while Afolkey occupies a central position along Afolkey Rd. The map illustrates a dense network of rural roads that follow section lines, connecting family-run farms and agricultural homesteads across the undulating terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial grounds, including Dakota Cem, Union Cem, and Afolkey Cem, which are often the last standing markers of early pioneer communities. The presence of the Freeport/Dornink Airport in the south provides a more modern landmark in this otherwise traditional farming region, which is also defined by tributaries like Brush Cr and E Br Richland Cr.
