2024 Map of Clayton
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
The village of Clayton serves as the primary hub in this West Central Illinois landscape, situated where the borders of Adams, Schuyler, and Brown counties converge. This modern topographical record shows a region defined by agricultural grid roads and the intricate drainage of Missouri Creek and its various tributaries like South Fork Creek and Walnut Fork. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally well-indexed with burial sites, including the Old West Side Cem, South Side Cem, and more remote locations like Mount Horeb Cem and Sargent Cem. The southeastern corner features the community of Timewell, also identified by its older name Mound Station, adjacent to the Mounds Cem. The terrain transitions from flat till plains to the carved valleys of the Little Missouri Creek system, with Lake Clayton providing a central water feature just south of the main township.
