About this map

Cedar River meanders through this Benton County landscape, carving distinct geological features such as Wildcat Bluff and East Bluff as it flows toward the southeast. The area near Vinton and Urbana shows a well-defined section-line road grid, interspersed with local waterways like Prairie Cr and Mud Creek. For genealogists and local historians, several rural burial grounds are mapped across the townships, including Pettit Hill Cem and Plum Grove Cem. The presence of Icehouse Lake near the riverbank suggests the historical water management and natural resources once vital to the local community. The terrain transition between the flat upland prairies and the river valley is marked by significant topographical relief, particularly where the river bends sharply near Co Trunk Hwy E24.
