About this map

The Maquoketa River flows through the northern reaches of this Jones County landscape, where the city of Monticello and its neighbor East Monticello serve as the primary hubs of activity. The geography is defined by a dense grid of rural roads and agricultural plots, punctuated by smaller settlements like Langworthy to the west and Amber to the south.

Historical interest is anchored in the southeast corner by the Edinburgh Ghost Town and Museum, which preserves the memory of the original Edinburg settlement near the banks of W Kitty Cr. Transportation and commerce are represented by the Monticello Regional Airport and a network of arterial routes including Military Rd and Amber Road X44, connecting the various farmsteads and creek valleys of Kitty Cr and Mineral Cr.
