About this map

The Little Blue River winds through the southwestern corner of this Clay County landscape, marking a transition from the structured grid of Section 17 and Section 16 to the more complex riparian drainage. Agriculture and water management define the region, evidenced by a series of named catchments such as Nejezchleb Reservoir, Lipovsky Reservoir, and Lambie Reservoir that intercept local drainage from Buffalo Cr and Pawnee Cr.

Settlement is concentrated at the northwestern periphery in Glenvil and the central locality of Anan. For those researching family history in the Fairfield area, the map preserves the exact locations of Anandale Cem near the upper reaches of Big Sandy Creek and Saint Aloysius Cem further south. The meticulous road network, from RD 311 down to RD 303, provides a clear framework for identifying old homesteads and rural land divisions as they existed in the early 21st century.
