About this map

Mississippi River frontage and the steep bluffs of eastern Iowa define this 2018 survey of the tri-state area. The city of Dubuque dominates the northern half of the map, connected to Illinois by the Julien Dubuque Bridge. The landscape transitions from the urban density of Center Grove and the residential corridors along NW Arterial to the expansive grounds of the Dubuque Regional Airport further south.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, from the urban Doctor Finleys Cem and Mount Carmel Cem to the rural Saint Joseph of the Prairie Cem and French Cem near the Jackson County line. The complex hydrology of the region is evident in the numerous branches of Catfish Creek that carve through the limestone terrain, including the distinctive Horseshoe Bluff and the protected valley at Swiss Valley. Smaller communities like Key West, Rockdale, and Ballyclough serve as historic anchor points within the modern transportation network.
