2011 Map of Clarendon

About this map

Clarendon serves as the focal point of this riverine landscape, positioned where the White River meets the confluence of the Cache River. The topography is defined by the shifting hydrology of the Delta, characterized by numerous oxbows and relic channels such as Upper Old River, First Old River, and the Crooked Point Cut-off. These water bodies, along with smaller features like Hole in the Wall and Round Pond, illustrate a complex floodplain environment that has historically dictated settlement patterns and local transit. To the east of the primary river systems, the landscape transitions into a more grid-like agricultural layout near Jeffries and the Bateman Cemetery. This area is drained by a network of creeks including Dial Creek and Knights Creek. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the influence of water management with the Midway Lake Dam, while the presence of landmarks like Dead Man Point and Holly Tree Bend reflects a deep-seated local nomenclature tied to the river's winding path.
