2015 Map of Malone

About this map

The Wapsipinicon River floodplain dominates the southern landscape of this quadrangle, where the boundary between Clinton Co and Scott Co follows the river's winding course. This area is defined by its agricultural grid and the small settlement of Malone, situated along the historic Lincoln Way corridor. The map reveals a high density of rural burial sites that offer significant value for genealogical research, including the Pehlam Cem, Cousin- Smith Cem, and the uniquely named Bowers- Dannatt- Hill Cem. Numerous waterways such as Brophy Creek, Ames Cr, and Cherry Cr drain the surrounding fields. The transition from the structured township blocks of t81n r4e and t81n r5e to the complex wetlands of the river valley illustrates the intersection of midwestern farming patterns with the natural hydrology of eastern Iowa.
