1953 Map of Malone

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Wapsipinicon River meanders through the southern portion of this landscape, defining the boundary between Clinton and Scott counties as it feeds into a network of lowlands and creeks. This 1950s survey, updated in the late 1970s, captures a rural corridor anchored by the Chicago and Northwestern railroad. Small clusters of activity like Malone and Ames represent the settlement patterns of the era, while the surrounding townships of De Witt and Eden are dotted with a high density of rural schoolhouses, including Gove School and Hatfield School. Genealogical interest is found in well-preserved landmarks such as the Hill Dannatt Bowers Cemetery and Pehlam Cemetery, which reflect the early farming communities that established themselves along watercourses like Cherry Creek and Brophy Creek.
