About this map

Lidderdale anchors the southern portion of this agricultural landscape, situated at the intersection of local roads and the Chicago and North Western rail line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage runs and creeks, including Elk Run, Buck Run, and Storm Creek, which feed into the meandering North Raccoon River in the northeast. This 1980 study reveals a region where traditional land use and conservation meet, as seen at the Rainbow Bend County Park and the curious Flowing Well located near the riverbank.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds such as Cottonwood Cem, East Liberty Cem, and Immanuel Cem, which serve as landmarks for genealogists tracing families in Jackson and Sheridan townships. Evidence of changing transportation is visible near Auburn, where an Old Railroad Grade marks a former transit corridor. The map provides a high-resolution look at the rural infrastructure, from gravel pits to the sewage disposal ponds on the edge of town.
