About this map

The South Grand River meanders across this rural landscape, providing a primary drainage corridor for numerous tributaries that define the local geography. Small settlements including Dayton, Altona, and Aaron anchor the road network, which is predominantly comprised of section-line roads like S Wagoner Rd and E 355th St. The area's agricultural character is evidenced by the Leos Angus Ranch Airport, while a dense distribution of family and community burial grounds suggests a long-established residential history.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy landmarks through numerous named sites, such as Blackburn Cemetery, Pulliam Cemetery, and France Cemetery. These locations are often situated near the many creeks that lace the terrain, including Sugar Creek, Mingo Creek, and Elk Fork. The map provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure and land use in this portion of Cass County during the early 21st century.
