About this map

Saint Lucas serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in northeastern Iowa, where the border between Winneshiek Co and Fayette Co bisects the terrain. The community is anchored by the Saint Lukes Catholic Cem, while the surrounding countryside is marked by several smaller burial grounds including Young Cem, Saint Anthonys Cem, and Eden Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogical research.

The hydrology of the region is dominated by the winding paths of the Turkey River and the Little Turkey River, which are traversed by local landmarks such as the Turkey River Bridge, West Auburn Bridge, and the Mill Race Bridge. These crossings, alongside smaller tributaries like Goddard Cr, Brockamp Cr, and Bass Cr, shaped the early development and road network of the area. The map's detailed grid of township lines and local roads like Co Hwy W14 illustrates the enduring land-use patterns of this rural heartland.
