About this map

Buffalo Creek winds through the southern landscape of this Jones County region, defining the drainage patterns for a series of smaller tributaries like Helmer Cr and Fawn Cr. The northern outskirts of Anamosa appear at the southern edge, where the transition from town lots to open farmland begins. The terrain is marked by a network of rural roads, including Old Cass Rd and Old Church Rd, which trace the paths of earlier settlement.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites recorded across the townships, such as Prairie Hill Cem in the north and Cass Cem and Fremont Cem further south. The map documents the boundary line between Linn and Jones Counties, illustrating how historical land divisions and local geography intersect. The drainage of Deer Cr and Kitty Cr further emphasizes the agricultural character of these upland plains.
