About this map

Maquoketa serves as the central hub of this Jackson County survey, situated at the confluence of the North Fork Maquoketa River and South Fork Maquoketa River. The town is well-established with civic infrastructure including the Courthouse, City Hall, and several educational institutions like Briggs Sch and the Jr High Sch. Industrial and utility markers are scattered throughout, from the Powerplant and Lakehurst Dam on the river to the Maquoketa Municipal Airport in the southwest.

Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into the rural townships of Brookfield and Bloomfield. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain, connecting smaller locales like Hurstville and Bridgeport. Genealogists will find numerous burial sites across the quadrangle, including Goddard Cem, Mount Hope Cem, and Union Cem, providing a clear record of local family history during the late twentieth century.
