2018 Map of Hopkinton West

About this map

Hopkinton sits at the edge of this landscape where the Maquoketa River and its many tributaries, including Plum Creek and Buck Creek, carve through the Delaware County terrain. This area is characterized by a dense network of rural cemeteries that trace the settlement patterns of the region's early farming communities. In the north, the Buck Creek Cem serves the small settlement of Buck Creek, while further south, the Grove Creek Cem and Castle Grove Catholic Cem highlight the religious foundations of the surrounding townships. The map records the meeting point of Delaware, Linn, and Jones counties, marked by a straight-line grid of rural roads such as Jones Delaware Rd and Monticello Rd that contrast with the winding paths of Silver Creek and Bell Creek.
