About this map

The town of Monona serves as a local hub in northeastern Iowa, situated at the boundary where Allamakee and Clayton Counties meet. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Yellow River, Hickory Creek, and Suttle Creek, which carve through the terrain near Jackson Hollow. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted community, with numerous small cemeteries such as Hardin Cemetery and Pioneer Cemetery scattered along the ridge lines and country roads.

Local history is preserved in the names of church-affiliated sites like Saint Patricks Cemetery and Luana Lutheran Cemetery near the village of Luana. The map also captures specific local landmarks such as the Monona Township Culbert and the Cummings Plot, providing a detailed look at the agricultural and civic layout of the region. A grid of named rural routes, including Volney Road and Dogwood Avenue, connects these established communities and homesteads.
