About this map

The Little Cedar River meanders south from the Minnesota Iowa border, anchoring the landscape of northeastern Mitchell County during the early 1970s. The town of Stacyville serves as the central hub, situated where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad line meets the river. This period shows a community deeply tied to both its agricultural roots and local industry, evidenced by the numerous Gravel Pits and a Quarry dotting the township lines.

Social and civic life is traced through landmarks like Union Ch and Riverside Park, alongside the Stacyville Cem and Toeter Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the rural sections including St Ansgar and Liberty, where small waterways like Turtle Creek and Burr Oak Creek drain the fertile farm country. The layout of section lines and township boundaries reflects the systematic settlement patterns that define this border region.
