1955 Map of Clinton

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Clinton Lake dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its expansive waters filling the valley of the Wakarusa River and its various tributaries. This 1955 survey, updated with 1980s photorevisions, reveals the dramatic change brought by the reservoir's creation, which submerged former bottomlands while establishing recreational hubs like Clinton State Park and the Bloomington Public Use Area. To the north and west, the earlier rural character of Douglas County remains visible in the higher elevations. The map preserves the locations of several local landmarks from the mid-20th century, including the Deer Creek Sch, Yarnold Sch, and Belvoir Sch. Settlements like Stull and Clinton anchor the community history of the Kanwaka and Clinton townships, while Mound Cem and Clinton Cem offer important points of reference for genealogists studying the families of this river valley.
