2018 Map of Dunkerton

About this map

Dunkerton serves as a central hub in this northeast Iowa landscape, where the Crane Creek winds through the township toward its confluence with the Wapsipinicon River. The map documents a predominantly agrarian region defined by a precise grid of county roads, including Co Hwy C57 and Co Hwy V49, which connect small communities like Dewar and the settlement of Barclay. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of vital community landmarks such as the Lester Township Cem, Fairview-Lester Cem, and Saint Francis Cem. These sites, along with the Dunkerton Bridge, mark the intersections of early pioneer settlement and the enduring watercourses like Elk Run and Poyner Cr that shaped the development of Black Hawk County.
