About this map

Petersburg stands as a focal point in this agricultural landscape near the border of Delaware and Dubuque counties. The community is anchored by the Saint Peter and Paul Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted heritage of the region's settlers. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the Little Turkey River in the north and the N Br Maquoketa River to the southeast. These waterways and their tributaries, such as Elk Cr and Bear Cr, carve a complex topography through the Iowa countryside.

Rural life is further detailed through several historic burial grounds, including the Saint Patrick Cem and Platt Cem. The settlement at Point Hollow marks a distinct topographic feature in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle. A dense grid of section roads, including Co HWY c64 and Petersburg Rd, connects these isolated landmarks, providing a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure and land use patterns.
