About this map

Sperry and Dodgeville anchor the rural landscape of Des Moines County in this 2010 survey, which reveals a dense network of local-history landmarks. The area is exceptionally notable for its preservation of numerous small burial grounds, ranging from the Old Stone Cemetery to the Thie Farm Cemetery and Franklin Mills Cemetery. These sites are often tucked away along gravel roads or the winding courses of Knotty Creek and Big Hollow Creek.

The landscape is structured by an orderly grid of local routes like Sperry Rd and Pleasant Grove Rd, which connect small clusters of settlement such as Kline and Prairie Grove. Significant hydrological features like Flint Creek and the Flint River Bridge underscore the geographical challenges of the terrain. The presence of the Sperry Post Office and several denominational cemeteries, including Saint Marys Cemetery and Salem Lutheran Cemetery, provides researchers with a clear record of the community’s social and religious foundations.
