2010 Map of Waucoma

About this map

The Little Turkey River meanders through this portion of Fayette County, serving as the geographic heart of the settlement at Waucoma. This river valley landscape is defined by its agricultural grid and a series of small rural communities, including Jackson Junction to the north and the small locale of Navan. The importance of local civic and religious life is evident in the numerous burial grounds documented across the township, such as Saint Johns Cemetery and Saint Rose Cemetery. Transportation is anchored by the diagonal corridor of Iowa Highway 24, which links these communities across the drainage of Dry Run and Simpson Creek. Public services remain centered in the village hubs, marked by the Waucoma Post Office and the Jackson Junction Post Office, which continue to anchor these long-standing Iowa settlements.
