About this map

The Little Maquoketa River winds through a deeply dissected landscape north of Dubuque, carving a valley that defines the region's early settlement patterns. This area is notably dense with small historic cemeteries, reflecting the intricate community and denominational roots of Dubuque County. Settlements such as Sherrill, Rickardsville, and Durango are linked by a network of ridge-top roads and creek-bed crossings, including the Rodford Bridge.

The presence of numerous religious and fraternal burial sites, such as the International Order of Odd Fellows Cem and Sherrill United Church of Christ Cem, suggests a complex social history in these hills. While the southern edge shows the suburban expansion of Asbury, the northern sections maintain a rural character centered around landforms like Sherrill Mound and deep ravines like Furnace Hollow. Small local airfields, including Anderson Airport, provide a modern contrast to the older agricultural hubs of Budd and Lore.
