1973 Map of Cleghorn

About this map

Cleghorn sits at the intersection of a vast agricultural network in Eau Claire County, characterized by a series of north-south and east-west country roads named for the trees and families of the region. This 1973 survey illustrates the rural development of Washington and Pleasant Valley townships, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Lowes Creek, Clear Creek, and Otter Creek. Notable for genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds including Hadleyville Cem, Zion Cem, and Union Cem. A unique piece of local aviation history is preserved with the marking of Martinkas Landing Field, while the Pumping Station and crossing Pipeline indicate the infrastructure supporting the valley during the early 1970s.
