2021 Map of Gaines

About this map

Harry S Truman Reservoir dominates the western and southern landscape of this Henry County region, where the winding inlets of Sparrow Foot Creek, Dumpling Creek, and Pretty Bob Creek meet the rising waters. The eastern edge of Clinton occupies the northwest corner, serving as a gateway to rural communities like Alberta and Gaines. This map illustrates the transition from urban outskirts and the Clinton Regional Airport to the agricultural reaches defined by a rigid grid of country roads, including E Division Road and SE 600th Road. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites preserved among the fields and shoreline, specifically Englewood Cemetery, Bethlehem Cemetery, and Good Hope Cemetery, which provide vital touchpoints for tracing family history in the area.
