USGS Topo · Published 1917About this map
The Wapsipinicon River meanders along the southern edge of this Clinton County landscape, defining the agricultural character of the region in the late 19th century. Surveyed in 1889, the area is crisscrossed by three major rail lines that fueled the growth of interior prairie settlements. The Chicago and North Western Railroad serves as a primary east-west corridor, linking Calamus, Grand Mound, and the established street grid of Dewitt.
