1965 Map of Claremont

About this map

The settlement of Claremont serves as the hub for this mid-1960s agricultural survey, where the Chicago and North Western railway cuts through the heart of the township. This period of Dodge County history is defined by a highly structured drainage and transportation network, evidenced by the presence of Judicial Ditch No 1 and the crossing of the Chicago Great Western railroad to the east near Eden. The landscape is intricately carved by the South Branch Middle Fork Zumbro River and Dodge Center Creek, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure. Genealogists and researchers can find the Claremont Street Cem west of the village, while scattered gravel pits across the terrain indicate the localized extraction industry supporting the region's development during this era of rural expansion.
