2017 Map of Dederick

About this map

Dederick and the surrounding township lands of Vernon County are defined by a network of rural section roads and creek drainages in this 2017 survey. The landscape is marked by small settlements like Oak Ridge and several distinct family and community burial grounds, including Sandstone Cem and Butler Cem. Water features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, with Clear Creek and its tributaries, such as the W Fork Clear Cr and Robinson Br, carving through the terrain. Larger bodies of water like Covington Lake and Marvin Vickers Lake appear alongside smaller named points like C H Jones Lake. The road system follows a rigid grid typical of the Midwest, with named routes like E Old Town Rd and Lauderback Rd providing access to the various farms and homesteads that have occupied these sections for generations. This modern topographic record captures the enduring rural character of the region, from the depression of Rocky Hollow to the quiet corners of Stepp Cem.
