2010 Map of Postville NW

About this map

Moneek anchors the eastern edge of this Winneshiek County landscape, situated near the winding course of the North Fork Yellow River. The area is characterized by an exceptionally high density of small burial grounds that suggest a deeply rooted settlement history, including the Norwegian Methodist Cemetery and the uniquely named Roy Schultz Property Cemetery. These sites are linked by a network of secondary roads such as Frankville Rd and Washington Prairie Rd, which follow the natural contours of the terrain between the Trout River and the Yellow River. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks like the Pagin Cemetery and Oak Hill Cemetery, which reflect the localized patterns of mid-western rural life as documented by the 2010 survey.
