2015 Map of McCausland

About this map

The Wapsipinicon River meanders across the northern portion of this landscape, forming the natural boundary between Clinton and Scott Counties. The town of McCausland serves as a primary settlement point just north of the river, while the smaller community of Argo sits to the south. This area is characterized by a high density of rural burial grounds, including the McCausland Cem, Fessler Cem, and LeClaire Prairie Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The drainage patterns of Lost Cr, McCarty Cr, and Bud Cr define the rolling topography of eastern Iowa, cutting through agricultural sections divided by a rigorous grid of gravel roads like Bluff Rd and 210th Ave. Significant local landmarks such as Mount Union Cem and Salem Cem are preserved within these sections, marking the social and historical centers of the early farming community.
