About this map

Highlandville sits at the heart of this Winneshiek County landscape, where the deeply carved valleys of S Bear Cr and Paint Cr define the rural character of Northeast Iowa. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history through its numerous burial grounds, including the Fawcett Farm Cem and Stoen Farm Cem, which point to the area's deep-rooted agricultural lineage. To the south, the small settlement of Locust and the crossroads at Sattre serve as anchors for the surrounding farmsteads.

Transportation follows the ridgelines and valley floors, with routes like Sattre Ridge Rd and Big Canoe Rd connecting isolated homesteads to the village centers. The prominence of springs, such as Mestad Spring, underscores the importance of local water sources for these upland communities. This survey documents the persistent rural footprint of the region, where churches like Methodist Cem and community landmarks remain the primary focal points of the landscape.
