2010 Map of Holy Cross

About this map

The North Fork Little Maquoketa River and Middle Fork Little Maquoketa River define the rolling agricultural landscape of northern Dubuque County. This region is characterized by small, closely-knit communities like Holy Cross, Rickardsville, and Bankston, which grew around central parish churches and schools. The local heritage is particularly visible in the numerous rural cemeteries such as Saint Clement Catholic Cemetery and the Cottage Hill Protestant Cemetery, serving as cornerstones for genealogical research in the area. The map captures a transition point in rural infrastructure, where named section roads like Wulfekuhle Rd and Pfeiler Rd provide access to older institutional sites including the Flanagan School and the settlement of Tivoli.
