About this map

Republican River meanders across this rural landscape southeast of Clay Center, where the transition from municipal street grids to a structured township-and-range road network is clearly defined. The southeastern edge of the city is anchored by the Clay County Fairgrounds, a notable local landmark. Outside the city limits, the terrain is shaped by several watercourses including Lincoln Cr, Otter Cr, and Cane Cr, which feed into the primary river valley.

Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of Broughton Cem and Gilbert Cem documented along the rural sections of Redwood Rd and Broughton Rd. The map illustrates a strictly agricultural layout, where primary corridors like Sunflower Rd and Osage Rd connect isolated farmsteads across the prairie. The drainage patterns of Mall Creek and W Br Mall Cr in the southeast corner further define the hydrological character of this part of Clay County.
