2012 Map of Malden

About this map

The village of Malden serves as the primary hub of this Bureau County landscape, centered at the intersection of local routes like Queen St and Front St. The layout of the region is defined by a grid of agricultural corridors, including the historically named Angling Rd, which cuts diagonally across the township lines. To the east, the smaller settlement of Zearing sits along the roadway, while the surrounding countryside is drained by the meandering courses of Big Bureau Cr and E Bureau Cr. For those researching family history in the area, the map precisely locates Malden Cem just north of the village and Bereans Cem further to the southeast. The terrain's hydrology is further detailed by the presence of Beaver Glenn Lake and the various branches of Brush Cr, illustrating the relationship between the prairie waterways and the established rural road network.
