About this map

Ellis Cliffs and the rugged bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River define the western geography of this Adams County landscape. The area is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including Old Saint Catherine Creek and Willow Lake, which wind through the low-lying terrain near Saint Catherine Bend. Further inland, the settlement of Sibley serves as a local hub, surrounded by family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds such as Forest Cem and Mount Olive Cem.

The presence of roads like Palatine Aventine Plantation Rd and Brighton Plantation Rd points to the region's agricultural heritage and the enduring footprint of large landholdings. To the north, the community of Cloverdale transitions into more elevated, dissected terrain. This 2018 survey documents a landscape where traditional land use and the unpredictable hydrology of the river bottomlands coexist, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns of Second Creek and Butler Lake.
