2018 Map of Clarion

About this map

Clarion serves as the central hub of this Wright County landscape, defined by a rigid grid of agricultural roads and a sophisticated water management system. The township is drained by several engineered channels, including Ditch Number 2, Ditch Number 5, and Ditch Number 149, which work in tandem with natural water bodies like White Fox Cr and the marshy expanses of Big Wall Lake. This infrastructure reveals the intensive modification of the Iowa prairie for modern industrial farming. Near the town center, community history is anchored by Saint John's Cem and Evergreen Cem, while the surrounding sections are partitioned by a network of local routes such as Nelson Ave and Madison Ave. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of municipal development and the expansive, channeled hydrology of the region.
