About this map

Maquoketa serves as the central hub of Jackson County, where the grid of city streets meets the winding path of the Maquoketa River. This 2010 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its waterways, including the North Fork Maquoketa River and several smaller tributaries like Prairie Creek and Silver Creek. The mapping reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Woods Farm Cemetery and Goddard Cemetery, which offer valuable geographic data for genealogists tracing ancestral roots in the region.

Industry and recreation are visible at the Lakehurst Dam and the Jackson County Fairgrounds, while the surrounding rural townships are connected by an extensive network of named roads including Caves Rd and Rockdale Rd. Smaller settlements like Hurstville and Bridgeport flank the main city, providing a clear picture of the residential and agricultural layout of eastern Iowa in the early 21st century.
