About this map

De Witt serves as the central hub of this Clinton County landscape, characterized by a grid of well-defined streets including 12th St and 8th St. The town's civic and social infrastructure is well-documented, featuring the Post Office, City Hall, and the Fairground on its eastern edge. Educational and religious life is represented by Ekstrand School, Central High School, and St Joseph Church.

To the south, the terrain transitions toward the wide valley of the Wapsipinicon River, where the State Wildlife Area and Wildwood Camp provide a contrast to the agricultural and residential uplands. This area reveals the drainage patterns of numerous local waterways, such as Silver Creek, Ames Creek, and Crystal Creek, which feeds into Crystal Lake. The river corridor is marked by a Levee and a Gaging Station, illustrating the management of this significant watercourse. Industrial and recreational activity is also evident through the presence of a Quarry, Gravel Pits, and a Racetrack.
