2012 Map of Clinton

About this map

Clinton Lake dominates the central landscape of this western Douglas County region, a massive reservoir created by the damming of the Wakarusa River. The surrounding topography is defined by the drainage basins of Deer Cr, Coon Cr, and Elk Cr, which feed into the lake's various arms. Settlement patterns here are concentrated around the unincorporated communities of Stull to the north and Clinton to the southeast, both of which serve as focal points for the rural road network. The map reveals a high concentration of burial sites, including the widely known Stull Cem, along with Mound Cem and Clinton Cem, providing essential reference points for genealogists. Much of the shoreline and southern terrain is dedicated to recreation and conservation within Clinton State Park, showing the 21st-century transition of this river valley from purely agricultural use to a significant regional water resource and parkland.
