About this map

Rossville and the southeastern corner of Waukon anchor this landscape in Allamakee County, where the terrain is deeply carved by the Yellow River and its tributaries. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, noted by local landmarks like Sherman Ridge Rd and Sand Hill Rd. The distribution of rural cemeteries such as Ebenezer Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Cleveland Cem reflects a long history of family and community settlement across the townships.

Several smaller subdivisions and named locations like Nelson Plot, Dundee Plot, and Bailey Plot appear alongside established village sites, indicating the varied scales of rural development. The drainage network, including Norfolk Cr, Paint Cr, and Bear Cr, dictates the winding paths of the local road system, including Rossville Rd and Co Trunk Hwy X16. This area represents a well-established agricultural and rural residential region where water sources like Penny Springs and Williams Cr have influenced the placement of farms and cemeteries alike.
