About this map

The settlement of Bearcreek sits near the eastern edge of Cedar County, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by its rolling ridges and winding waterways. The terrain is dominated by prominent elevations such as The Mound and Indian Ridge, which oversee a network of drainages including Bear Creek, Crabtree Br, and Price Br. To the southwest, the expansive waters of Stockton Lake reshape the river valleys, while the Sac River meanders through the western portion of the quadrangle.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Lindley Prairie Cem located south of the main settlement, providing a point of interest for family history research. The map captures the area's rural character, marked by a dense grid of county roads such as Co RD 1700 and E HWY M that connect scattered farmsteads and small lakes like Truitt Lake and Montgomery Lake. This documentation reflects the enduring agricultural and residential patterns near the border with Polk County.
