About this map

The Marais des Cygnes River winds through this section of Linn County, shaping a landscape defined by significant water bodies and rural crossroads. The settlement of Boicourt sits south of its namesake Boicourt Lake, while further north, the community of La Cygne Corner marks a junction near the sprawling La Cygnes Lake. This 2012 survey illustrates a mix of traditional agricultural land and modern recreational developments, such as the DeerTrace Golf Course.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural landmarks that speak to the area's long-term settlement patterns. Multiple burial grounds, including Ninety Six Cem, Sway Back Cem, and E Mount Zion Cem, are scattered across the township. Educational history is preserved through the locations of the New Home School and Star Valley School, which anchor the network of rural roads like Taylor Rd and Showalter Rd that crisscross the terrain between Middle Cr and N Sugar Cr.
