Preston serves as a primary hub of activity in this section of eastern Iowa, situated where several creeks converge before joining the broader drainage systems. The town’s layout is punctuated by Preston Cem and Saint Josephs Cem, which anchor the eastern edge of the community. To the northwest, the Maquoketa River meanders through a deeply carved valley, creating a distinct topographical contrast to the more level agricultural uplands. The rural landscape is notably characterized by a high density of family-named burial sites, such as Schmidt Farm Cem, Russell Farm Cem, and Reed Cem, suggesting a long-standing history of family land ownership and homesteading in the area.
