Rockdale

Rockdale is best known within Iowa for its riverside position on the Mississippi River just south of Dubuque. This small community lies where the wooded bluffs of the Driftless Area rise above the river floodplain, a terrain quite distinct from much of Iowa’s agricultural interior. Nearby, the Mines of Spain Recreation Area preserves riverfront woodland and the Julien Dubuque Monument, marking the grave of the French-Canadian lead miner associated with the area’s early settlement. Major highways linking Dubuque with the wider Upper Mississippi corridor pass close by.
