About this map

Hopkinton and the nearby settlement of Buck Creek anchor this agricultural landscape along the winding Maquoketa River. The topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Silver Creek, Lime Creek, and Sand Creek, which carve through the farmland of eastern Iowa. The map highlights several vital centers for local genealogy, particularly the Castle Grove Catholic Cemetery and Castle Grove Baptist Cemetery situated in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

A grid of rural roads such as Jones Delaware Road and Hardscrabble Road connects these remote landmarks. The convergence of three counties—Delaware, Linn, and Jones—creates a unique jurisdictional intersection near the Silver Creek drainage. Other notable burial sites including the Buck Creek Cemetery and Grove Creek Cemetery are preserved here, offering a detailed record of the families who settled this river-fed region.
