About this map

Zwingle stands at the boundary of Dubuque Co and Jackson Co, serving as a central point for this agricultural landscape. The town is surrounded by a network of rural roads such as Manderscheid Rd and Washington Mills Rd, which connect various family-named homesteads and religious sites. The presence of several distinct cemeteries, including Harmony Cemetery and Bethel Cemetery, provides significant data for genealogical research within these townships.

Waterways like Otter Creek and Farmers Creek drain the undulating terrain, while Kleis Airport near the center of the sheet reflects modern local infrastructure. To the east, the settlement of La Motte appears alongside Holy Rosary Cemetery, marking another historical community hub. This map illustrates the enduring rural character of eastern Iowa, where small settlements and country churches like Assumption Cemetery anchor the community structure.
