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 the local hub, situated just north of where the river's wetland-rich valley meets the agricultural uplands. This area is characterized by several small watercourses, including Jones Cr and Martin Cr, which drain into the river, and the larger Lost Creek system further south.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds distributed across the township, including McCausland Cem near the town center and the more isolated Mount Union Cem, Salem Cem, and LeClaire Prairie Cem. The rural road network, defined by routes like Territorial Rd and Bluff Rd, connects these community landmarks to the settlement of Argo near the southern edge. The map captures the persistent agrarian structure of the region, where family history is anchored to these specific intersections and named cemeteries.
