2017 Map of Clayton NE

About this map

Wolf Cr meanders through the central landscape of Pleasant Township, defining the drainage patterns of this rural Hutchinson County section. The terrain is characterized by the agricultural grid of the Public Land Survey System, which remains the primary organizing force for settlement and transportation in this 2017 study. Genealogy researchers will find significant landmarks along the local road network, most notably the Unity Lutheran Cem located in the western portion of the quadrangle. This map serves as a contemporary record of the prairie landscape, illustrating how modern land use continues to follow the section lines and riparian corridors established in the early days of South Dakota statehood.
