About this map

The confluence of the Maquoketa River and the North Fork Maquoketa River anchors the geography of this eastern Iowa landscape. In the heart of the region, the city of Maquoketa serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller settlements like Hurstville and Bridgeport. The town’s layout is documented down to individual street names, including W Platt St and E Summit St. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape where modern infrastructure, such as the Maquoketa Municipal Airport, coexists with long-established rural foundations.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the townships, from the centrally located Mount Hope Cem and Sacred Heart Cem to more remote sites like Woods Farm Cem and Goddard Cem. The map tracks several watercourses, including Hurstville Br, Prairie Cr, and Silver Cr, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped agricultural and settlement choices across the Jackson County and Clinton County border.
