2011 Map of Clearwater Dam

About this map

Clearwater Dam controls the flow of the Black River in this part of Wayne County, forming the expansive Clearwater Lake that dominates the central terrain. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, including Mail Route Hollow, McMillan Hollow, and Tanbark Hollow, which dictate the winding paths of local roads like Co RD 442. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a significant record of family-named sites and landmarks, preserving the locations of several burial grounds such as Murphy Cemetery, Buffington Cemetery, and Skiles Cemetery. The shoreline of the lake is marked by prominent natural features like Brown Bluff and Finley Bluff, while residential development appears along Bluffview Dr and Cottonwood Dr near the water's edge.
