2018 Map of Walcott

About this map

Walcott and Blue Grass anchor this 2018 survey of the borderlands between Scott and Muscatine counties. The landscape is defined by the regular grid of rural roads and the drainage of Mud Cr and Duck Cr, which cut through the agricultural fields of eastern Iowa. The infrastructure of the Western railroad corridor remains a central feature of the northern settlements, linking Stockton and Walcott to the broader regional economy. Family history researchers will find several well-established burial grounds preserved here, including Walcott Cem and Blue Grass Cem, along with the more isolated Parr Cem situated near the intersection of several local routes. The map illustrates the contemporary layout of these small communities as they maintain their identities amidst the expansive farms of the Iowa prairie.
