2017 Map of Clinton South

About this map

Clinton and the surrounding Henry County prairie are dominated by the extensive reach of the Harry S Truman Reservoir, which fills the lowlands where the South Grand River once flowed more freely. This 2017 study illustrates the modern intersection of established townships and large-scale water management. To the south, the community of Deepwater sits near the namesake Deepwater Cr, while the village of La Due occupies the western edge of the quadrangle. Local heritage is preserved in sites like Oak Grove Cem near the city center and the more isolated Dunning Cem to the south. The landscape is a mix of agricultural sections and riparian networks, including Marshall Creek and smaller water bodies such as Whitaker Lake and June-Bug Lake, reflecting the region's enduring relationship with its complex drainage systems.
