About this map

The boundary between Clinton and Clay counties cuts across this modern landscape, where the northern outskirts of Kearney meet small rural settlements like Lilly and Arley. The terrain is defined by a series of creeks and reservoirs, including the expansive Trimble Wildlife Lake in the northwest and Miller Lake to the south. Local aviation history is represented by Block Air Village Airport and the smaller Mac's Field, suggesting a landscape of private airfields and open acreage.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites distributed across the townships, such as Cook Cem, Fairview Cem, and Ecton Cem. These small cemeteries, along with Mount Zion Cem and Eberts Cem, mark the historic community nodes that persist amidst the growth of the region. The map shows a transition from the structured residential roads near Kearney to the more dispersed county road network that follows the drainage patterns of Eberts Br and Camp Br.
