About this map

Hague and the surrounding townships of Hague, Darlington, and Richland define this agricultural landscape in the early 1970s. The survey illustrates a typical Midwestern section-line road grid where social life centers around local institutions like the Bethlehem Ch and the neighboring Hague Cem. Further south, the Woodland Cem and a local Townhall reflect the dispersed nature of these rural communities.

The hydrology of the region is dominated by winding waterways, including Pearl Creek, Redstone Creek, and Shue Creek. A specific Flowing Well in the northwest corner and several gravel pits scattered throughout the townships suggest the intersection of local geology with the needs of farming and infrastructure maintenance. This map is particularly useful for genealogy, as it explicitly marks the boundary between Clark and Beadle counties, providing a clear geographic context for 20th-century family records.
