2010 Map of Wheatland

About this map

The Wapsipinicon River meanders through this portion of Clinton County, defining the agricultural landscape between the established communities of Wheatland and Calamus. In the early 21st century, the area maintains a high density of small rural burial grounds that speak to the long history of family farming and local parishes, such as Saint Pauls Cemetery and Homigrahusen Cemetery. The settlement at Big Rock sits near the southern edge of the quadrangle, connected to the larger towns by a grid of section-line roads like 210th St and 310th St. Waterways including Yankee Run and Calamus Creek feed into the Wapsipinicon, while landmarks like the High Rock Bridge and the Wheatland Post Office provide fixed points for local navigation and commerce in this quiet corner of Iowa.
