About this map

The Upper Iowa River cuts a deep, winding path through the dissected plateau of Allamakee County, defining the agricultural and topographical character of this corner of Iowa. In the northern reaches, the Upper Iowa River Bridge provides a vital crossing point, while smaller tributaries like French Creek and Clear Creek carve through the landscape, creating distinct landforms such as Long Hollow and the evocatively named Dead Horse Hollow.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial sites across the township lines of t100n r5w and t99n r5w. These include the French Creek Methodist Cemetery, English Bench Cemetery, and Wheatland Cemetery. The network of local roads, such as English Bench Road and Lycurgus Road, reflects a long-standing pattern of ridge-top and valley-floor settlement that has persisted through the early 21st century.
