About this map

Waukon serves as the focal point of this northeast Iowa landscape, anchoring a network of rural roads and agricultural lands in Allamakee County. The street grid of the town is punctuated by the Waukon Post Office and the expansive Oakland Cemetery to the south. To the north, the Allamakee County Fairgrounds and Waukon Municipal Airport occupy the periphery, while the settlement of Lycurgus sits further afield along Lansing Ridge.

The area is defined by its watershed patterns, with Village Creek and Silver Creek carving through the terrain alongside several smaller tributaries like Jones Creek. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies several smaller burial sites across the township, including Makee Township Cemetery, Round Prairie Cemetery, and the County Care Facility Cemetery. Roads like Iron Mine Dr and Howard School Rd provide hints of the past industries and community centers that once dotted the countryside.
