2018 Map of Dundee

About this map

Dundee sits as the central hub of this eastern Iowa landscape, where agricultural grid lines meet the winding courses of the Maquoketa River and its various tributaries. The terrain transitions from the steady elevation of Wolf Hill to the distinctive topographic formation known as The Backbone in the north. This area is notably dense with small, local burial grounds that reflect the early settlement patterns of Delaware and Buchanan counties, including Saint Albert Cem, Forestville Cem, and the Stanger Farm Cem. To the northeast, the village of Forestville marks a historic crossing point near the river. The map also traces the drainage network formed by Sand Hagen Cr, Coffins Cr, and Rieger Cr, illustrating how the natural hydrology dictated the placement of early infrastructure like the Lindsey Bridge and the winding route of State Hwy 410.
