About this map

New Vienna and the neighboring settlements of Luxemburg and Holy Cross anchor this portion of Dubuque County, where the agricultural grid meets the dissected valley of the N Fork Maquoketa River. The landscape is defined by its deep Catholic heritage, evidenced by the central placement of Saint Boniface Cem and Holy Trinity Cem. These sites, along with the secluded Fagen Property Cem, provide critical touchpoints for genealogists researching the German-Catholic migration patterns of the region.

The northern reaches of the map are dominated by the preserve at White Pine Hollow, a significant natural landmark characterized by the dramatic relief of Point Hollow. Numerous tributary streams, including Hickory Cr, Hewitt Cr, and Coffee Cr, carve through the rolling terrain. A dense network of local routes like Petersburg Rd and Holy Cross Rd connect the scattered farmsteads, reflecting a rural infrastructure that has remained consistent for generations.
