2018 Map of Earlville

About this map

Earlville and the nearby village of Delaware serve as the primary population centers in this section of Delaware County, situated amidst the rolling agricultural landscape of eastern Iowa. The area is defined by its organized grid of rural roads and the winding path of the Maquoketa River in the south. Local heritage is deeply rooted in the land, evidenced by numerous historical burying grounds scattered throughout the quadrangle, including Pine View Cem and the Saint Johns Cem near Delhi. Several tributaries such as Penn Cr, Plum Cr, and Allison Cr drain the terrain, highlighting the importance of these waterways to the local topography and early settlement patterns. Residential streets in Earlville, such as Elizabeth St and Mary St, illustrate the established town layout maintained into the 21st century.
