About this map

The Wapsipinicon River meanders through the heart of this East-Central Iowa landscape, defining the topography between the settlements of Wheatland and Calamus. The river's winding path is joined by numerous tributaries including Yankee Run, Lizard Cr, and Rock Cr, creating a complex network of wetlands and seasonal drainages. In Wheatland, the street grid centers on W Lincolnway St and Jefferson St, reflecting a traditional Midwestern rail-and-road layout.

Further south, the small community of Big Rock sits near the junction of 278th St and 315th St. Transportation history is visible in the alignment of Old Hwy 30, which runs parallel to the modern highway corridor. Significant local crossings and recreational points such as High Rock Bridge and Campground Rd highlight the importance of the river as a focal point for both local infrastructure and community activity.
