2022 Map of Dunkerton

About this map

Dunkerton serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Black Hawk County, situated along the winding course of Crane Creek. The surrounding territory is defined by a dense grid of rural roads, including Crane Creek Rd and Co Hwy V49, which connect the town to outlying settlements like Dewar and the northeastern edges of Waterloo. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey preserves the locations of several burial grounds essential for genealogical research, such as Lester Township Cem and the Fairview Lester Cem. To the northeast, the Wapsipinicon River cuts through the corner of the map, while the southern reaches transition toward Barclay. The distribution of these features, alongside Elk Run and Poyner Cr, illustrates the enduring relationship between the region's drainage patterns and its long-established township divisions.
