About this map

The Cedar River creates a meandering path through the northwestern portion of Muscatine County, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and complex drainage systems. Tributaries such as Pike Run and Crane Cr feed into the river basin, while Lindle Lake and Muscatine Slough mark the lower elevations. This area is characterized by its agricultural grid, punctuated by small rural settlements and points of local interest like Camp Sacalawea in the northeast corner.

Local transport routes and property access are reflected in named thoroughfares such as Jones Cabin Ln and the evocatively named Hoot Owl Jct. The small crossroads of Dayfield and the settlement at Ardon provide anchors for the rural community. The map details the transition from the river's riparian environment to the structured sections of upland farmland, showing the alignment of roads like Funks Hill Rd and Burlington Rd as they navigate the terrain.
