2015 Map of Frankville

About this map

The Yellow River and its intricate drainage network, including the N Fork Yellow River and Upper Br Yellow Cr, dominate this section of the Iowa borderlands. Situated along the boundary of Winneshiek and Allamakee counties, the area maintains a rural, agricultural character defined by dispersed settlements like Frankville and Ludlow. The landscape is etched with the history of local congregations and pioneer families, as seen in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the townships. These include the Frankville Village Cem, the Salem United Cem near Empire Dr, and the Bethlehem Cem located along Bethlehem Dr. The drainage patterns of Cook Slough and Teeple Cr further illustrate the dissected topography that characterizes this part of Northeast Iowa, where county roads like Co Trunk Hwy W60 follow the high ridges between creek valleys.
