About this map

Claremont serves as the primary focal point of this Brown County landscape, situated within a strictly organized grid of agricultural section lines. The township's character is defined by its precise geometry, where north-south thoroughfares like 405th Ave and 410th Ave intersect with east-west routes ranging from 113th St to 121st St. This layout reflects the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System, which partitioned the prairie into manageable farm plots.

Water management is a central theme of the terrain, as evidenced by the Crow Creek Drainage Ditch cutting diagonally across the northwestern sections. This engineered feature underscores the necessity of modified hydrology in supporting the region's intensive agriculture. Within the small settlement of Claremont, a more detailed street plan emerges, anchored by Co Hwy-8 and a cluster of numbered streets and avenues, including 3rd St and 7th Ave.
