2015 Map of Garber

About this map

The Volga River and Turkey River converge in the northeastern corner of this Clayton County landscape, where the neighboring settlements of Elkport and Garber are situated along the valley floor. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by deep river valleys and high ridges, where local genealogy is preserved in numerous rural burial grounds such as Saint Michaels Cem, Immanuel Lutheran Cem, and Mount Harmony Cem. The drainage network, including Wolf Cr and Elk Cr, dictates the placement of historically named roads like Colesburg Rd and Hilton Rd. Further west, the map documents Littleport and nearby Sacred Heart Cem, illustrating how early 20th-century community centers were established relative to the region's steep hydrology and the winding Wayman Cr.
