About this map

Lucas sits at the intersection of local commerce and conservation in the southern portion of this Lucas County landscape. The town serves as a central hub, anchored by the Lucas Post Office, with the southern reaches of the quadrangle dominated by the Stephens Forest and its associated water features like Stephens Forest Pond. The surrounding countryside is defined by an extensive network of drainage, including White Breast Creek and Indian Creek, which carve through the agricultural parcels.

Genealogists will find this particular survey especially useful for its clear documentation of numerous family and community burial grounds dispersed throughout the township. From Norwood Cemetery and Clore Cemetery in the north near the settlement of Norwood to Rose Hill Cemetery and Grimes Cemetery further south, the map preserves the locations of early area pioneers. Recreational landmarks like the Jericho Hills Campground and the distinct terrain of Swede Hollow add further detail to this rural Iowa corridor.
