About this map

Marais Des Cygnes Valley dominates the northern reaches of this Linn County survey, where a complex system of levees contains the Marais Des Cygnes River and Sugar Creek. This landscape is defined by the management of water and wildlife, anchored by the Marais Des Cygnes Waterfowl Area. The town of Pleasanton serves as the regional hub, situated along the St Louis San Francisco RR.

Surface mining activity is evident across the eastern terrain, noted by several Strip Mines, a Quarry, and various Gravel Pits. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous rural burial grounds including Green Valley Cem, Eureka Cem, and Lamb Cem. The transition from rail to road is visible in the Old Railroad Grade running west of town, while local education and civic life are marked by School No 74 and the Community Hall.
