About this map

The Turkey River and Little Turkey River define the rolling landscape of this borderland between Winneshiek and Fayette Counties. The settlement of Festina sits at the northern edge near Brockamp Cr, while Eldorado occupies the central valley where the Eldorado Bridge crosses the water. A high density of rural burial grounds, including the Stavanger Cem, Bethany Cem, and George Cem, provides a detailed record of the families who settled these townships.

A notable landmark near the northern boundary is the Smallest Church, situated alongside the Church Cem in Festina. The map also documents the transition from northern Winneshiek County into Fayette County, tracing the network of local roads like Lincoln Rd and Nature Rd that connect these agricultural communities. From the W42 Bridge to the township boundaries, the survey reflects the enduring rural character of this northeast Iowa region.
