About this map

The town of Edgewood straddles the boundary between Clayton and Delaware Counties in this detailed 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation of northeast Iowa. The landscape is defined by its dendritic drainage system, where several major creeks including Bear Cr, Doe Cr, and Rabbit Cr have carved out distinct topographical features such as Alderson Hollow, Sugar Camp Hollow, and Mossy Glen Hollow. This network of valleys and ridges influenced the settlement pattern, which is primarily rural and connected by a grid of county highways and roads like Littleport Rd and Co Hwy X17.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial sites across the township lines. Multiple cemeteries serve the area, from the Saint Marks Cem and Edgewood Cem near the town center to the more remote Noble Cem, Green Hill Cem, and Sacred Heart Cem. The presence of these sites, alongside various family-named roads and landmarks like Steeles Br, provides a clear view of the longstanding community ties in this agricultural region.
