About this map

The Little Maquoketa River and its multiple forks carve through the landscape northwest of Dubuque, defining the settlement patterns of this Iowa upland. Higher ground near the village of Sherrill is punctuated by the prominent Sherrill Mound, a landmark surrounded by an unusual density of religious and fraternal burial sites, including the International Order of Odd Fellows Cem and the Sherrill United Church of Christ Cem.

Transport corridors follow the winding valley floors and ridgelines, connecting smaller communities like Rickardsville, Durango, and Five Points. The map reveals the transition from the rugged hollows of the north, such as Mangold Hollow, to the expanding suburban character of Asbury in the south. Evidence of local heritage is found at river crossings like Rodford Bridge and at remote landmarks like the Congregational Rock Cem, while the Anderson Airport reflects modern utility in this varied terrain.
