2015 Map of Stockport

About this map

Stockport and the surrounding Van Buren County countryside are defined by a rhythmic grid of rural roads and the winding paths of several creeks. The settlement of Utica sits centrally, while Harrisburg occupies the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. This area of Iowa preserves a high density of small family or community burial grounds, illustrating the early settlement patterns and genealogical heritage of the region. Distinctive sites include Fordyce Cem, Trumbo Cem, and the uniquely named Stone-Tree Cem. Waterways like Little Cedar Cr and Honey Cr carve through the agricultural landscape, creating natural breaks in the otherwise uniform township and range layout. The map also traces the path of Rte w30 and Rte j16, which connect these small rural hubs.
