2015 Map of Jerico

About this map

Jerico stands as the primary settlement on this agricultural landscape in northeastern Iowa, where the border of Howard County and Chickasaw County is defined by 100th St and Co Line Rd. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line road grid that supports a rural economy centered on family farms and local parishes. Genealogists will find significant detail in the cluster of religious and burial sites near the town center, including the Jerico Lutheran Cem and Saint Patricks Catholic Cem, which reflect the area's denominational heritage. Further south, the Sargeant Farm Cem sits isolated among the fields, while the winding course of Plum Cr provides the only significant natural break in the otherwise methodical township and range survey lines.
