2018 Map of La Cygne

About this map

The Marais des Cygnes River dictates the landscape of Linn County in this modern survey, winding through tight oxbows such as Hells Bend as it flows past La Cygne. The town layout is clearly defined by its residential streets, including E Lincoln Ave and E Market St, contrasting with the surrounding agricultural sections. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents several historic burial grounds dispersed throughout the countryside, from Oaklawn Cem near the town center to the more secluded Brooklyn Cem, Prairie Home Cem, and Richland Cem. To the south, the topography is marked by notable elevations such as Graveyard Mound near the confluence of local tributaries like Turkey Cr and Big Sugar Cr, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that have shaped the region's development and road network.
