About this map

Volk Field and the village of Camp Douglas anchor the central portion of this Monroe County landscape, where the flat plains of the Lemonweir River valley are interrupted by a series of dramatic sandstone formations. These distinctive geological features, including Wildcat Bluff, Bee Bluff, Mill Bluff, and the iconic Devils Monument, rise sharply from the surrounding terrain. To the south, the village of Hustler sits near the Little Lemonweir River and the winding course of Fountain Creek.

Family history researchers can find several established burial grounds across the quadrangle, such as Clifton Cemetery in the southwest and Ranney Cemetery near the southern edge. The mapping of the Omaha Bike Trl following an old rail corridor near Castle Rock reflects the region's transition from a transportation-heavy economy to one that emphasizes its unique natural landmarks. The drainage patterns of Bear Creek and Allen Creek further define the local geography, connecting the northern bluffs to the larger river systems below.
