2010 Map of Dubuque South

About this map

Dubuque sits at a critical junction of the Mississippi River and its tributary system, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Catfish Creek and its north, middle, and south forks. This 2010 survey illustrates the southern expansion of the city toward Key West and Ballyclough, balanced against the preserved industrial and natural heritage near the river. Significant institutional footprints like the University of Dubuque and the Dubuque Regional Airport anchor the suburban and rural transition zones. The map is particularly dense with genealogical markers, featuring over a dozen burial sites including the Mines of Spain Cemetery and Saint Joseph of the Prairie Cemetery. From the riverfront infrastructure at Dubuque Harbor to the rugged terrain of Horseshoe Bluff, the sheet details the city's complex relationship with its bluffs and valleys.
