About this map

The Maquoketa River winds through the northern portion of this Jones County landscape, providing a natural anchor for the settlement of Monticello. This area is characterized by a high density of small rural burial grounds, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Scattered across the township lines of T86N and T85N are historic sites such as Oakwood Cem, Saint Johns Evangelical Lutheran Cem, and the Zimmerman Cem.

Smaller unincorporated communities like Langworthy, Amber, and Edinburg are connected by a network of local routes including Amber Rd and 190th St. The presence of the Monticello Regional Airport and the winding paths of Kitty Cr and Mineral Cr illustrate the evolving use of the land, from traditional agricultural plots to modern transit hubs. The map detail effectively captures the distribution of family-named landmarks and local cemeteries that define the heritage of this Iowa river valley.
