2018 Map of Epworth

About this map

Epworth and Farley anchor this portion of western Dubuque County, where the agricultural landscape is deeply carved by the Little Maquoketa River and Whitewater Cr. The settlement pattern reflects a strong parochial history, evidenced by numerous religious sites such as Saint Patricks Cem, Saint Josephs Cem, and Saint Johns Catholic. Smaller hamlets like Lattnerville, Graf, and Pleasant Grove remain distinct points on the map, connected by a network of rural roads that include Old Highway Rd and Freedom Rd. The topography reveals the intricate drainage of Hogans Br and Curran Br, which likely dictated early farmstead placement. Genealogists will find particular value in the dispersed burial grounds, including the Highview Cem, Johnson Cem, and Hogan Cem, which document the generations of families who settled these sections.
