2018 Map of Delmar North

About this map

Delmar occupies the southern edge of this landscape where the undulating terrain of eastern Iowa is carved by the winding Maquoketa River. The area is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, such as Jessen Farm Cem, Miller Estate Cem, and Richardson Farm Cem, suggesting a long-standing pattern of multi-generational agricultural settlement. North of the city, the land transitions into more pronounced relief near Dark Hollow, where Dark Hollow Cem sits near the river's bend. Small rural crossroads and hamlets like Riggs and Browns anchor the eastern and southern reaches of the map, while a network of named creeks, including Sugar Cr and Brush Cr, drain the farm fields toward the larger river valley.
