About this map

The North Fork Maquoketa River carves through this Dubuque and Delaware County borderland, defining a landscape dominated by the agricultural grid and several watercourses including Plum Creek and Silver Creek. The eastern edge of the survey captures the outskirts of Dyersville, where the industrial and residential footprint meets Tegeler Pond and Bear Creek. Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of area burial grounds, notably Saint Francis Cemetery near the city and Saint Pauls Cemetery to the south.

The small settlements of Rockville and Gilt Edge appear as distinct points within the rural townships, connected by a network of section-line roads like Rockville Road and Sherwood Road. This 2010 snapshot illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, showing how the drainage patterns of Cooksley Creek and Penn Creek have dictated the layout of farms and local transport long after the initial settlement era.
