2010 Map of Highlandville

About this map

Highlandville and Locust serve as the primary focal points of this northeastern Iowa landscape, where the intricate network of creek valleys dictates the pattern of settlement. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of North Bear Creek, South Bear Creek, and Paint Creek, which carve through the countryside and support several recreational access areas. This 2010 survey highlights a significant concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as the Fawcett Farm Cemetery and Stoen Farm Cemetery, which provide invaluable spatial data for genealogical research in Winneshiek County. Historical institutional sites like the Locust School and Saint John Cemetery are preserved alongside small clusters at Sattre and Springwater, reflecting the enduring rural character of the region. The map reveals how local transit remains tied to the geography, with routes like Sattre Ridge Rd and Highlandville Rd following the high ground between the various creek systems.
