About this map

Epworth serves as the central hub of this Dubuque County landscape, where the street grid of the town core meets the diagonal path of Old Highway Rd. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Little Maquoketa River in the north and the expansive reach of Whitewater Cr to the south. These drainage patterns influenced early road placement and the location of outlying settlements such as Lattnerville and Kidder.

Smaller tributaries like Hogans Br and Curran Br carve through the agricultural fields, while landmarks such as Camp Little Cloud and the naming of Olde School Ln and Cemetery Rd provide specific points of interest for local history researchers. The map reveals a transition from traditional rural homesteads to modern developments, seen in the residential clusters near Pleasant Grove and the structured grid of Epworth's town center.
