About this map

Lansing Ridge dominates the northern landscape of this Allamakee County quadrangle, where high plateaus are deeply dissected by the winding courses of Clear Creek and Trout Run. The settlement of Lansing anchors the northeastern corner, marking the transition from the upland ridges toward the river valley. Further south, the community of Village Creek sits near its namesake waterway, Village Creek, reflecting a settlement pattern tied closely to the area's complex drainage network.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites scattered throughout the rural townships, including Old West Paint Creek Cem, Elon Cem, and Center Baptist Cem. These small, localized cemeteries, often found alongside rural crossroads like Elon and Dalby, serve as focal points for the agricultural heritage of the region. The map also identifies distinct residential areas such as Roese Plot and Reynolds Plot, providing precise locations for twentieth-century property development within this traditional farming landscape.
