2015 Map of Fort Atkinson

About this map

The Turkey River winds through this portion of Winneshiek County, carving a valley that anchors several early Iowa settlements. In Spillville, the landscape is defined by its deep cultural roots, evidenced by the Saint Wenceslaus of Spillville Cem and historical connections to the river. Further south, the town of Fort Atkinson sits near the Fort Atkinson Bridge, surrounded by multiple burial sites including Saint Peters Cem and Saint Johns Cem. The region's geography is characterized by a network of drainage creeks like Bohemian Cr and Wonder Cr, which feed into the primary river system. To the east, the community of Calmar and the recreation area at Lake Meyer provide a contrast to the agricultural plateaus. This 2015 update preserves the locations of numerous family-named landmarks like Kruse Farm Cem, offering a detailed view of the rural township structure and its enduring local heritage.
