2010 Map of Jonesdale

About this map

Jonesdale and the surrounding Iowa County landscape are defined by the intricate dendritic drainage of the Dodge Branch and its numerous tributaries. This survey captures the rural character of the region just as the Military Ridge State Trl became a primary recreational corridor across the northern section of the map, following a historic ridge-top route. The agricultural layout is anchored by a network of family-named roads like Fitzsimmons Rd and McGraw Rd, reflecting long-standing land ownership patterns. Notable local landmarks include Saint Bridgets Cemetery in the northeast and East Side Cemetery to the west, alongside the Tuschen Airport, which serves this pocket of the Driftless Area. The map provides a clear record of the area's transition into the 21st century, where historic farmstead connections meet modern conservation and recreational land use.
