About this map

Thompson River and Weldon River define the hydraulic character of this Grundy County landscape, where the meandering paths of their old channels suggest a history of natural shifts and flood management. The rural community of Brimson sits near the southwestern corner at the junction of Sugar Creek and Cattail Creek, while smaller settlements like Buttsville, Shott, and Parkerton anchor the surrounding agricultural grid.

A dense concentration of burial grounds, including Salem North Cemetery, Willis Chapel Cemetery, and Hatton Chapel Cemetery, provides a wealth of data for those tracing local family lineages. Numerous small reservoirs such as Dolan Lake and Stamper Pond illustrate the mid-century development of local water resources, supporting the farms that line the network of gravel and paved roads including NW 110th St and NW 70th Ave.
