2015 Map of Monticello

About this map

The Maquoketa River winds through the northern reaches of Monticello, anchoring a landscape where long-established agricultural roads and scattered family cemeteries define the rural character. This modern topographic survey highlights a network of small settlements beyond the main town, including Langworthy, Amber, and Edinburg, each maintaining its own distinct identity through local landmarks. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating numerous burial grounds such as Oakwood Cem, Saint Johns Evangelical Cem, and Wayne Zion Cem. The transport infrastructure is dominated by the diagonal path of the regional airport and several named creeks like Kitty Cr and Mineral Cr. The transition from the settled grid of Monticello to the surrounding townships of t86n r3w and t85n r3w reflects the enduring rural structure of Jones County.
