2015 Map of Zwingle

About this map

The boundary between Dubuque Co and Jackson Co bisects this agricultural landscape, where the small community of Zwingle sits at the intersection of local routes and natural drainages. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds marking early settlement patterns, including Presley Presbyterian Cem and Saint Theresa Cem to the north, while Assumption Cem and Holy Rosary Cem serve the area near La Motte in the southeast. The terrain is defined by a dense network of streams such as Otter Cr, Buncombe Cr, and Farmers Cr that carve through the fields. Outside the primary townships, the presence of Kleis Airport near Washington Mills Rd adds a modern aviation element to this otherwise traditional rural Iowa corridor.
