2018 Map of Petersburg

About this map

Petersburg serves as the central community of this Delaware County landscape, situated where the rolling drainage of Bear Cr meets the local road network. The area's cultural history is anchored by significant religious sites, including the Saint Peter and Paul Cem in the heart of the village and Saint Patrick Cem further north. This agricultural region is defined by a dense network of waterways, with the Little Turkey River cutting through the northern section and the N Fork Maquoketa River visible along the eastern border near the Dubuque County line. The map captures a quintessential Iowa farming district, where the terrain transitions into the distinct topography of Point Hollow. Small tributaries like Elk Cr and Garretts Br thread between established section lines, illustrating the long-standing township-and-range surveying system that shaped this portion of the state.
