About this map

Waukon serves as the primary hub of this Allamakee County landscape, surrounded by a complex network of ridgelines and creek valleys. The settlement pattern is defined by elevated ridges such as Lansing Ridge and Kedary Ridge Dr, which separate the drainages of Silver Cr and Village Cr. This 2015 data illustrates a deep-rooted rural community where local history is preserved across numerous burial grounds, including Oakland Cem, Mount Olivet Cem, and the Makee Township Cem.

Evidence of early rural infrastructure remains visible through named routes like Iron Mine Dr and Howard School Rd, hinting at former industrial and educational landmarks. Further north, the small community of Lycurgus sits near its namesake Lycurgus Cem, while the Waukon Municipal Airport marks a modern addition to the western outskirts of the city. The map's detailed topography reveals the dramatic elevation changes characteristic of northeast Iowa's driftless region, where valleys like French Cr cut deep into the surrounding limestone plateaus.
