About this map

McClelland sits at the junction of Main St and Idlewood Rd, serving as a central point in this agricultural landscape within t76n r42w. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Mosquito Creek and its various tributaries, which carve through the land alongside prominent features like Bent Tree Ridge and Turnberry Ridge. This 2015 survey reveals a pattern of rural life organized around a grid of roads named for local flora, such as Hickory Rd and Dogwood Rd.

Family and community history is preserved in several burial grounds across the township, including the Downsville Cem and the Weston Saint Columbanus Catholic Cem. The presence of the Pottawattamie County Home Cem near McClelland and the Hardin Township Cem further south near Quick underscores the deep-rooted settlement history of the area. Small hamlets like Peter and Quick remain connected by the long-established corridor of Railroad Hwy, mirroring the path of the original rail lines that once fueled the local economy.
