2009 Map of Clay Center SW

About this map

The Republican River winds through the northern reaches of this landscape, just southwest of the regional center at Clay Center. This agricultural corridor is defined by a grid of rural roads and the meandering paths of several waterways, including Otter Creek and Five Mile Creek. The small community of Ladysmith serves as a local landmark in the southern portion of the sheet, while the elevation of Twin Mounds provides a distinct break in the terrain. For those tracing family histories or early rural settlements, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, such as the Republican City Cemetery, the Lutheran Cemetery, and the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery. The layout of these sites and the local road network, including named thoroughfares like Jayhawk Rd and Navajo Rd, reflect the organized development of Clay County during the early 21st century.
