2017 Map of Clatonia

About this map

Clatonia serves as the primary hub in this corner of Gage County, where a grid of rural roads connects the surrounding agricultural lands. The landscape is defined by an extensive water management system featuring numerous numbered reservoirs like Clatonia Creek Reservoir 7-A and Indian Creek Reservoir 3-A, which help manage the drainage of the many local waterways. These streams, including Clatonia Cr, Soap Cr, and Snake Cr, weave through the terrain, indicating a complex network of prairie drainage. Genealogists and local historians can locate burial grounds such as Highland Center Cem and Rose Hill Cem, which stand as markers of the area's early settlement families. The map also records the rural landscape's transition through smaller tributaries like Possum Cr and various water control structures such as Little Indian Creek Reservoir 15.
