About this map

The Maquoketa River winds through the northern landscape of this quadrangle, framing the established city of Monticello. This area is a significant hub for regional transit and history, where the Monticello Post Office and Monticello Municipal Airport serve the local community. To the south, the landscape transitions into a network of agricultural tracts and smaller settlements like Langworthy, Amber, and Edinburg.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its high density of rural burial grounds, including Langworthy Cemetery, Kiburz Cemetery, and the Wayne Zion Cemetery. A notable historical site is the Edinburgh Ghost Town and Museum in the southeast corner, preserving the memory of an early Jones County community near the Edinburg Cemetery. The drainage of Kitty Creek and its tributary West Kitty Creek further define the local topography, intersecting with historic routes like Military Rd.
