2010 Map of Lockridge East

About this map

Skunk River meanders through this portion of Jefferson County, defining the rural landscape between the towns of Lockridge and Rome. This 2010 survey reveals a densely recorded genealogical landscape, featuring an unusual concentration of burial sites such as the Cholera Hill Cemetery and the Cedar Creek Friends Cemetery. The presence of the Lockridge Post Office and the small settlement of Denova near the eastern edge anchor the local road network. The terrain is deeply inscribed by watercourses including Wolf Creek, Cedar Creek, and Berry Branch, which likely dictated the early patterns of agricultural settlement and road placement throughout the township. These labels provide precise locations for researchers tracing family history or early Iowa homesteads along the established corridors of Old Hwy 34 and the surrounding section lines.
