About this map

Dederick sits as a central junction point in this rural Vernon County landscape, captured in the late 1980s by the U.S. Geological Survey. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Clear Creek and its many tributaries, including Robinson Branch and the West Fork Clear Creek. This water network historically shaped the settlement patterns of townships like Walker, Badger, and Virgil, which are clearly demarcated on the sheet.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites, such as Butler Cem, Stepp Cem, and the Sandstone Cem near the community of Sandstone. A prominent pipeline and a Radio Tower reflect modern infrastructure cutting through the agricultural reaches. In the southern corner, the edge of Montevallo appears, anchoring a region where low-lying drainage basins like Rocky Hollow and Camp Branch dictate the local geography.
