About this map

The North Fork Maquoketa River meanders across this Jackson County landscape, anchored by the village of Fulton. This 1980 survey captures the agricultural heart of eastern Iowa, where the river's path is monitored by a Gaging Station and the land is divided into the townships of Otter Creek, Richland, Farmers Creek, and Perry.

Genealogists will find significant local landmarks including the St Lawrence Ch and several burial sites such as Sweezy Cem, Sutton Cem, and Esgate Cem, along with a solitary Grave marked near the center of the sheet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways like Buck Creek and Cedar Creek, while a local Quarry and a prominent Radio Tower reflect the local industry and infrastructure of the late 1970s.
