About this map

Martinsburg sits at the southern edge of this Dixon County survey, where the township grid meets the winding path of South Cr. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the northeast, including Silver Cr, Powder Cr, and Aowa Cr. These drainage patterns are modernly managed by several impoundments, most notably Aowa Creek Reservoir 31-1 and Aowa Creek Reservoir 12-8.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved across the countryside, including Silver Ridge Cem to the north and a cluster of three sites surrounding the town: Trinity Cem, Calvary Cem, and Martinsburg Cem. The map documents a predominantly agrarian environment, with a strict grid of section roads like 585 Ave and 879 Rd facilitating movement between the scattered farmsteads and the village center.
