About this map

The Cedar River meanders through this portion of Buchanan and Benton Counties, serving as a central geographic feature that defines the local landscape. The settlement of Brandon sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, supported by the Brandon Post Office. To the southwest, the community of Mount Auburn is situated near the riverbanks, featuring the Mount Auburn Post Office and the nearby Mount Auburn Cemetery.

A network of local roads such as Benton Buchanan Rd and Brandon Rd connects these rural hubs across a terrain drained by several tributaries, including Mud Creek, Lime Creek, and Spring Creek. The placement of Spring Creek Cemetery in the northwestern sector and the Mount Auburn Bridge crossing the river highlight the essential infrastructure of this agricultural region. The inclusion of smaller locales like Sunny Side provides further detail for those tracing the development of these Iowa townships.
