2010 Map of Delmar North

About this map

Saint Patricks Cemetery and the northern reaches of Delmar anchor this Iowa landscape where the rolling agricultural grid is broken by the winding Maquoketa River. The territory is exceptionally dense with small, family-named burial grounds, providing a localized genealogy of the region through sites like the Miller Estate Cemetery, Jessen Farm Cemetery, and Richardson Farm Cemetery. Small rural clusters such as Union Centre, Riggs, and Browns dot the intersections of the township roads, marking the persistent settlement patterns of Clinton County. Significant drainage features like Sugar Creek and Rock Creek flow through the southern half of the quadrangle, while the terrain of Dark Hollow in the north suggests a more complex topography than the surrounding farmland. The map documents the enduring rural character of the area, centered around the Delmar Post Office and a network of secondary roads such as Iron Bridge Rd and Rockdale Rd.
