2010 Map of Clay City

About this map

Clay City serves as the primary hub of this landscape, established where local roads converge near the southern reaches of the Eel River. The settlement pattern follows the grid of the Indiana countryside, punctuated by historically named corners and small communities such as Middlebury, Smithville, and Denmark. The region is defined by the meandering path of the Eel River, which is flanked by the E Towpath Rd, a name echoing the canal era of the state's early transport history. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Zenor Cemetery, Red Brush Cemetery, and Liechty Cemetery, are scattered across the quadrangle, offering a detailed record of 19th and 20th-century residents. The terrain shifts from the river bottomlands into the localized relief of Happy Hollow, while landmarks like the Feederdam Bridge and Wabash Camp Ground indicate the area's long-standing connection to its waterways.
