2010 Map of McCausland

About this map

The Buffalo Bill Cody Homestead stands as a central landmark in this portion of Scott County, marking the early life of the famous frontiersman. This 2010 survey details the rural landscape surrounding the town of McCausland, where the Wapsipinicon River meanders through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the grid of local roads like Utica Ridge Rd and Territorial Rd that connect dispersed farmsteads and small settlements like Argo. Genealogists will find a concentration of burial sites throughout the township, including LeClaire Prairie Cemetery, Salem Cemetery, and Mount Union Cemetery. The drainage patterns of Lost Creek and McCarty Creek further define the terrain, illustrating the relationship between the prairie waterways and the established rural homesteads.
