2010 Map of Big Slough

About this map

Gran Cemetery sits at the center of this agricultural landscape in Clay County, marking a point of rest in a region defined by its waterway network and section-line roads. The drainage of the land is visible through the meandering paths of Whisky Creek, Stony Creek, and Spring Creek, which navigate the grid of county highways and local avenues. This 2010 survey shows the area's development through features like the Janssen Airport and the Willow Creek Golf Course, which contrast with the surrounding rural expanses and the natural basin of Solem Lake. The intricate web of named roads, including County Hwy-120 and County Hwy-126, illustrates the modern connectivity of this prairie landscape, providing a clear view of how traditional farm boundaries and newer recreational or transport infrastructure coexist.
