About this map

The winding Maquoketa River and its many tributaries, including Allison Cr and Penn Cr, define the drainage and topography of this eastern Iowa landscape. This 2022 survey captures the distinct rural settlement patterns of Delaware County, centered on the communities of Earlville, Delhi, and Delaware. The map provides a detailed view of the regional road network, from established routes like Co HWY d5x to numerous numbered section-line roads such as 210th ST and 280th Ave.

For local history researchers and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several important community sites. A high density of cemeteries is found throughout the township, including Saint Joseph Cem, Evergreen Cem, and the more isolated Pine View Cem. The grid systems of the small towns are clearly marked, showing the layout of streets such as Elizabeth St in Earlville and Charles St in Delhi, providing a clear record of these communities' modern footprints.
