About this map

The North Fork Maquoketa River carves a winding path through this corner of eastern Iowa, defining the drainage patterns for numerous tributaries like Plum Creek and Cooksley Cr. In the northern reaches, the city of Dyersville serves as a primary hub, adjacent to the Dyersville Area Airport and the managed waters of Tegeler Pond. This survey illustrates the transition from urbanized street grids to the expansive section-line road network that characterizes the agricultural interior of the county.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial sites, including Saint Francis Cem near the town center and Rockville Cem further south. The map documents smaller named locales such as Gilt Edge and Rockville, providing a spatial record of these settlements in relation to the larger communities of Worthington and Dyersville. The landscape is a complex web of rural routes like Thunder Rd and Rockville Rd, weaving together the farmsteads and creek valleys of the region.
