2012 Map of Blue Mound

About this map

Blue Mound serves as the primary hub of this Linn County landscape, characterized by a detailed grid of rural roads and numerous local burial grounds. The town is situated near the Blue Mound Reservoir and features local infrastructure like the Blue Mound Municipal Water Treatment Facility and a central Po. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for its identification of five distinct cemeteries scattered across the countryside, including Pleasant View Cem, Sunny Slope Cem, and Boulware Cem. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of the Little Osage River, its northern and middle forks, and the S Fork Sugar Cr. This network of waterways, including Irish Cr and Ross Br, dictates the placement of long-standing section roads like Wyoming Rd and Yellowstone Rd, reflecting the enduring agricultural layout of the region.
