About this map

The Maquoketa River carves a winding path through this corner of Jones County, defining the local landscape with its sharp bends and tributary systems. Historical industry is anchored at Ebys Mill and Corbett's Mill Bridge, indicating the waterway's importance to the early regional economy. The settlement of Scotch Grove serves as a central point, surrounded by evidence of established community life such as the Scotch Grove Cem.

Genealogists can trace family connections through several rural burial grounds, including Johnstown Cem and Johnson Town Cem. The terrain features distinctive landmarks like Chimney Rock near the confluence of Jordan Cr, while small locales like Springhole and Dales Ford illustrate the dispersed nature of Iowa's agricultural townships. Numerous creeks, including Tibbetts Cr, W Kitty Cr, and Mineral Cr, drain the varied topography of this 2015 survey.
