About this map

The Allamakee County seat of Waukon serves as the focal point for this Northeastern Iowa landscape, where the street grid transitions into the winding country roads of the Driftless Area. The map reveals a high concentration of rural burial sites, including the Oakland Cem at the southern edge of town, the Makee Township Cem, and the County Care Facility Cem further north. These sites, along with the Round Prairie Cem, offer significant research value for those tracing local family lineage in the region.

Agricultural and transport patterns are defined by the topography of Lansing Ridge and the drainages of Village Cr and Silver Cr. Small clusters like Lycurgus stand along the ridge tops, while more modern infrastructure is represented by the Waukon Municipal Airport. The naming of roads like Iron Mine Dr and Gun Tower Rd hints at the historical industrial and utility footprints that shaped the outskirts of the city.
