1982 Map of Cloverdale

About this map

The Yankee Springs State Recreation Area and Barry State Game Area dominate this landscape, illustrating the preservation of public lands in Barry County during the early 1980s. The region is defined by a dense concentration of glacial kettle lakes, including Gun Lake, Wall Lake, and the marshy edges of Wilkinson Lake. These water bodies are surrounded by small, historic settlements like Cloverdale and Prairieville, which grew around early township crossroads. Local history is etched into the landscape at sites like the Jesuit Cem near Snow Lake and the McCallum Ch further east. The map captures a moment when traditional rural life, evidenced by the Brush Ridge Cem and family-named roads like Waldorff Road, coexisted with modern educational and recreational sites like the Circle Pine Center and the growing residential cluster at Delton.
