The Mississippi River defines the eastern boundary of this Lewis County landscape, where the town of La Grange sits at the water's edge. This modern topographic record captures the transition from the riverbanks to the rolling interior, where the Wyaconda River and Durgens Cr carve drainage patterns toward the larger valley. The map is notable for its documentation of water management and local land use, featuring numerous man-made bodies of water like Durgens Cr Watershed Lake Number 4 and Scott Shaffer Lake Number 7. Small rural clusters such as Weber and Dover are shown alongside established centers like Canton. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Riverview Cemetery and the Salter Cemetery near the river bluffs, providing specific geographic context for families tied to these historic river communities.
