About this map

Clearfield serves as the primary hub of this Iowa landscape, straddling the border of Taylor and Ringgold Counties. The town’s residential grid is clearly defined by streets such as Jackson St, Monroe St, and North St, showing the compact development typical of rural prairie settlements. Surrounding the town, the terrain is shaped by the drainage patterns of several watercourses, most notably the Platte River and its various tributaries including Honey Cr and Turkey Cr.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites scattered across the township lines. Beyond the central Clearfield Cem, the map documents several rural cemeteries like Rising Sun Cem, Tindie Cem, and Cabaret Cem. These landmarks, along with the detailed section-line road network of 130th St and Yellowstone Ave, provide a clear picture of the historical land divisions and rural community structure of the region.
