2018 Map of Jerico

About this map

The small settlement of Jerico serves as the focal point for this section of the northern Iowa prairie, situated just south of the Howard Co Chickasaw Co border. The landscape is defined by the gentle drainage patterns of the E Fork Wapsipinicon River and Plum Cr, which cut through a strictly ordered grid of section roads like Co Line Rd and LaSalle Ave. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the cluster of burial sites near the village, including the Jerico Lutheran Cem and Saint Patricks Catholic Cem. Away from the main settlement, the smaller Sargeant Farm Cem sits along Odessa Ave, offering a trace of the area's early family farmsteads. The map illustrates a contemporary rural landscape where historic church-centered communities persist alongside modern infrastructure like Co Hwy B22.
