About this map

The North Fork Maquoketa River winds through this section of Jackson County, carving a valley that dictates the local road network and settlement patterns. Near the small community of Fulton, the river receives flow from Farmers Cr, while Buck Cr and Torecout Cr drain the surrounding uplands. The landscape is characterized by a series of family and parish burial grounds, including the Saint Lawrence Cem near Otter Creek and several smaller plots like Beedle Farm Cem and Sweezy Cem.

Historically significant routes such as Bellevue Cascade Rd cross the northern tier, connecting these rural townships. The map reveals a high density of named drainage features, such as Lytle Creek and Cedar Cr, which shaped the early agricultural development of the region. Genealogists will find the distribution of local cemeteries particularly useful for locating ancestral homesteads in this corner of Iowa.
