About this map

The Grand River meanders across this rural Gentry County landscape, shaping the development of local settlements like Darlington, McCurry, and Carmack. This 2017 study captures a transition of land use where historic family holdings and cemeteries are preserved alongside contemporary infrastructure. The map is particularly notable for its dense concentration of burial grounds, providing an essential resource for tracing local lineages through sites such as Saint Patrick Cem, Rodes Cem, Hall Cem, and Sloan Cem.

The terrain south of the river is defined by a network of drainage creeks, including Wildcat Cr, Boatright Br, and Stillhouse Br. These waterways cut through the landscape, influencing the placement of local roads like McCurry Grove Trl and Handle Rk Ridge Trl. Evidence of earlier land divisions is visible in the grid of county roads and section lines, while landmarks like Ettieville Lake provide points of interest within the agricultural surroundings.
