2018 Map of Clay Center NW

About this map

The Republican River meanders across this Clay County landscape, defining the character of the river valley as it passes Stillwater Lake and the settlement of Morganville. The map illustrates a mature rural grid system where section lines dictate the placement of roads like Hackberry Rd and Indian Rd, which connect various family-named burial grounds. Genealogists will find several notable sites including Swedsburg Cem, Morganville Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem in the northern townships, while Wilson Cem and Greenwood Cem serve the area near Clay Center. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the residential expansion and infrastructure of northern Clay Center, including the Clay Center Municipal Airport and a dense network of local streets such as W Crawford St and Lincoln Ave. Several tributaries, including Mulberry Cr and N Br Five Cr, feed into the main river channel across this agricultural region.
