About this map

McCausland anchors the southern edge of this landscape, situated just north of the meandering Wapsipinicon River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Brophy Creek, Cherry Creek, and Ames Creek, which carve through the agricultural fields of the Clinton and Scott County border. This area preserves a significant genealogical record through its scattered rural burial grounds, such as the Pehlam Cem and the Cousin-Smith Cem.

Further south, the Prairie Union Cem and the distinctly named Bowers-Dannatt-Hill Cem serve as landmarks for local history researchers. The rectilinear road grid, featuring historic routes like Lincoln Way, illustrates the enduring structure of Iowa's township and range system. The confluence of small waterways like Martin Creek and Jones Creek near the river indicates the complex hydrology that has shaped local settlement patterns and land use for generations.
