1962 Map of New Vienna

About this map

White Pine Hollow State Park and the rugged Pine Hollow terrain dominate the northwestern corner of this Dubuque County landscape, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding agricultural uplands. The drainage of the North Fork Maquoketa River carves through the central portion of the map, while its tributaries like Coffie Creek, Hickory Creek, and Hewitt Creek define the local topography. This 1962 field-checked survey documents the established settlements of New Vienna and Luxemburg, reflecting the area's deep-rooted Catholic heritage through the prominent placement of Cem sites and ecclesiastical structures within the town centers. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Quarry sites and Gravel Pits, which supported local infrastructure as the region continued its transition into the mid-20th century. The map also delineates the civil townships of Liberty, Concord, and New Wine, illustrating the administrative organization of the Iowa countryside.
