2022 Map of Mound City NW

About this map

Mound City sits at the southern edge of this landscape, where the prairie begins to break into the complex drainage networks of the Sugar Creek system. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Big Sugar Creek in the north and the multi-branched North Fork Little Sugar Creek and S Fork Little Sugar Cr to the south. Small settlements like Critzer are linked by a grid of rural routes such as Co RD 556 and Wesley Chapel Rd, reflecting the enduring agricultural character of Linn County. For genealogists, the placement of the Wesley Chapel Cem and Centerville Cem provide specific points of interest for local family histories. The presence of Lake De Lag and numerous smaller tributaries like Coffeebean Cr and Alexander Br illustrates a landscape deeply shaped by its local hydrology and rural development.
