2018 Map of Stockport

About this map

Stockport anchors this Van Buren County landscape, where the Jefferson County line meets a rural grid of gravel roads and creek drainages. The area is defined by its transition from the plateau-like farm ground around Utica to the more dissected terrain of the Harrisburg vicinity. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Stone-Tree Cem, Fordyce Cem, and Trumbo Cem, reflecting a long history of family farmstead settlement. Drainage patterns are established by several winding waterways such as Little Cedar Cr, Honey Cr, and Rock Cr, which cut through the agricultural sections. The map reveals the persistence of small community centers and the foundational road network of southeastern Iowa, serving as a contemporary record of long-established land divisions and property boundaries.
