2010 Map of Beetown

About this map

Blake Prairie dominates the northern reaches of this Grant County landscape, providing a level upland transition between the branching valleys of Rattlesnake Creek and Muskellunge Creek. The settlement of Beetown sits in the southeast, historically positioned near the confluence of Beetown Branch and the Grant River. This area is characterized by its agricultural longevity, evidenced by the numerous small community burying grounds like Saint Marys Cemetery, Blake Prairie Cemetery, and Burns Cemetery that dot the countryside. The road network, including County Hwy-V and County Hwy-U, connects the central hub of Diamond Grove to North Andover. Significant watercourses such as Heiler Creek and Kuenster Creek carve through the terrain, reflecting the drainage patterns that have shaped the region's rural development and land use since early settlement.
