2018 Map of Union Grove

About this map

Union Grove sits at the intersection of a sprawling rural road network and the upper reaches of Cattail Cr, a landscape defined by its agricultural heritage and natural drainage systems. This 2018 survey detail shows a region heavily patterned by the Public Land Survey System, with township lines like t21n r4e and t22n r4e framing the rolling prairie. Settlement clusters are concentrated around Union Grove and the community of Garden Plain, which preserves its local history through the Garden Plain Cem. To the north, Cattail Slough and Spring Brook reflect the hydraulic character of Whiteside County, where small waterways carve through the terrain. The presence of Cotton Wood Cem near Lincoln RD provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in these agrarian townships.
