About this map

The Sac River meanders through the heart of this Cedar County landscape, creating a series of dramatic geographic turns including Horseshoe Bend and several river islands such as Masters Island and Keith Island. Near the center of the sheet, Caplinger Mills serves as a focal point where the river is harnessed by the Sac River Reservoir. The terrain is characterized by numerous named hollows and bluffs, like Vilhauer Bluff and Moore Bluff, which suggest a deeply eroded plateau.

Genealogists will find a variety of small burial grounds scattered across the rural township lines, including Rookins Cem, Preston Cem, Hackleman Cem, and Parker Cem. To the northeast, the presence of the Haynie Branch Natural Bridges and Coal Bank Hills highlights the unique geologic and resource history of the region. This 2017 update maintains the intricate record of property-access roads and water features such as Cowan Lake E and Dorman Lake.
