McCausland, IA

McCausland is a Scott County city in Butler Township, where the Wapsi River, farm fields, and wetlands set the scene. Herons, swans, eagles, geese, and hawks are part of the wetland map, and the Wapsi supplies fishing water. Scott County Park, Lost Grove Lake, and the Mississippi River extend the outdoor geography around town.
