About this map

The Yellow River cuts a deep, winding course through the southeastern corner of this Allamakee County landscape, joined by tributaries like Williams Creek and Bear Creek. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainage patterns and prominent ridges such as Sherman Ridge, with various hollows like Bear Hollow and Peterson Hollow marking the topography.

Settlement patterns are anchored by the town of Rossville and the southern edge of Waukon. Family and local history is preserved in small plots and cemeteries, including the Nelson Plot, Dundee Plot, and Bailey Plot, alongside the Ebenezer Cemetery and Evergreen Cemetery. A local landmark, the Red Bridge, crosses the waters near Smithfield, while a dense network of country roads like Breezy Corners Road and Forest Mills Road connects these dispersed rural communities and farmsteads.
