About this map

Johnstown and the surrounding township lines of Linn County are defined by a network of creeks and family cemeteries in this 2014 survey. The landscape is carved by several watercourses, including W Yellow Cr, E Yellow Cr, and Winigan Cr, which dictate the placement of local roads like Kite Rd and Meade Rd. The small settlement of Garner sits in the northwest, near the shores of Brookfield Lake.

For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its precise location of rural burial grounds scattered across the sections. These include the Pleasant Grove Baptist Cemetery in the southeast, multiple locations named Baker Cemetery, and the Wyant Cemetery, Baugher Cemetery, and Pulliam Cemetery. The rural character of the area is further evidenced by the grid of local connectors, such as Kopple Rd and Landes Rd, which link these historic sites across the creek valleys.
