About this map

Monticello sits at the confluence of several vital Iowa waterways and transport lines, anchored by the Maquoketa River and its many tributaries. The surrounding landscape is a web of smaller settlements and agricultural crossroads, including Langworthy, Amber, and Edinburg. Local history and genealogy are well-documented here through a dense concentration of burial grounds, ranging from larger sites like Oakwood Cem to smaller family or community plots such as Kiburz Cem, Zimmerman Cem, and Four Horn Cem.

The hydrography of the region is defined by the winding paths of Kitty Cr and its western branch, alongside Mineral Cr and Bear Cr. The infrastructure of the late 2010s is represented by the Monticello Regional Airport and a grid of rural routes like Stone Bridge Rd and Richland Rd. This map captures the modern layout of Jones County while preserving the location of 19th-century church sites and cemeteries such as Zion Cem and the Saint Johns Evangelical Cem.
