		No, the Maquoketa river does not have the miles of scenic bluffs of the Upper Iowa, the spirited riffles and bucolic runs of the Yellow, or the volume and swift flow of the Cedar.
		Second, the Maquoketa river is not classified as a "meandering river," which means that unlike the Cedar river or portions of the Iowa river, the area up to the high-water mark is not public property.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Iowa
		It lies between two great rivers, the Mississippi and the Missouri, the Mississippi forming its eastern boundary and separating it from the States of Illinois and Wisconsin; the Missouri and its chief tributary, the Big Sioux, forming its western boundary, and separating it from the States of Nebraska and South Dakota.
		West of the Divide the rivers flow southwesterly into the Missouri and its tributaries, and, as the watershed is near the western boundary of the state, the rivers have shorter courses and a more rapid flow than those of the eastern system.
		The soil of the river valleys consists of waste carried down from higher levels, and is known as alluvium; it is the richest soil in the state.

		The Maquoketa's sediment and phosphorus levels are worse than those of many other Iowa rivers, the result of steeply sloping land and cattle waste.

	Moving to Iowa - Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Dubuque
		The Sauk and Fox (Mesquakie) tribes, forced into the Mississippi River valley from Wisconsin and Illinois by the oncoming pressure of white settlement, defeated the Iowa Indians and occupied their lands in the late 18th and early-19th centuries.
		River locations also were highly advantageous, as evidenced by the fact that all towns that became economically successful were both along rivers and attracted a rail line.
		Adversely affecting the economy in 1993 was major flooding of the Mississippi River and its tributaries, with millions of dollars of damage sustained in Des Moines, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, and Davenport.

		John E. Goodenow, the founder of Maquoketa, needs very few words of introduction to the people of this county, with whose interests he has been identified for a period of fifty-one years.
		At the forks of the Maquoketa was an Indian burying ground, where, two years before, during a smallpox epidemic, a large number were buried.
		The mode of sepulture was to place the body on top of the ground at the foot of a tree, and build around it a pen of logs to prevent disturbance by wild animals.

	Maquoketa Group
		In most of the outcrop area in southeastern Indiana the Maquoketa Group is overlain by the Brassfield Limestone, but in small areas the Brassfield is absent, and the shaly Osgood Member of the Salamonie Dolomite, which elsewhere overlies the Brassfield, directly overlies the Maquoketa (Foerste, 1904a; Brown and Lineback, 1966; Nicoll and Rexroad, 1968).
		The Brassfield also overlies the Maquoketa in the subsurface of east-central Indiana, but in western Indiana, where rocks that are laterally equivalent to the Brassfield are assigned to the characteristically cherty Sexton Creek Limestone, that formation overlies the Maquoketa.
		In northeastern Indiana the Maquoketa is overlain by the Manitoulin Dolomite Member of the Cataract Formation (Rexroad, 1980).

		During the Memorial Lesson at the 2nd Annual Maquoketa River All-Day Singing, Cathryn Baker pointed out that we, here in Iowa, are missing the usual "cloud of witnesses" who have gone on before to lead us in the traditions that usually enfold a Sacred Harp singing.

		Total weight of smallmouth during the pre-catch and release period was 11.2 pounds per acre (less than one third of the catch and release period).
		The extremely postive results of the Maquoketa River regulations were used as a rationale for the expansion of catch of release regulations to two other Iowa rivers, the Cedar and Upper Iowa.

	Maquoketa River Ice Follies Report
		We’d dressed well enough to be comfortable but the ice forming on the river was a concern the entire trip.
		It felt to me like we were going slower than that due to all the crunching, but the river was swift despite being very shallow (fortunately not so shallow as to make us get out and walk), and our boats and the icebergs were bookin’ right along.
		The general consensus was that it was a good thing we were moving at a decent clip and taking a short trip, as the river was freezing fast and the clock was ticking, and a few hours after we got off the water the river would probably be frozen up.
