1980 Map of Scotch Grove

About this map

The Maquoketa River carves a winding course through this Jones County landscape, defining the character of the terrain with its dramatic bends and bluffs. Much of the northern riverbank is dedicated to conservation and recreation, including the Indian Bluffs State Wildlife Management Area and Pictured Rocks County Park, where features like Chimney Rock and Dales Ford mark the river's path. The map provides a detailed view of local infrastructure in the late 1970s, from the Camp Courageous of Iowa to the Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the area's earlier transportation history.
