About this map

Garnavillo serves as the primary hub of this Clayton County landscape, its grid organized around the Garnavillo Post Office and bordered by the Garnavillo Cemetery and Saint Joseph Cemetery. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of hollows and creeks, including Andy Hollow, Butternut Hollow, and Miners Creek, which cut through the high agricultural plateaus.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the unusually large number of rural burial sites mapped across the township. Smaller settlements like Ceres are documented alongside family-named landmarks such as the Stock School Cemetery, McClelland Cemetery, and Borcherding Cemetery. This 2010 survey provides a clear view of the modern road network, from the Great River Rd in the northeast to the various gravel routes like Johles Hollow Rd that follow the natural drainage patterns of the Joles Creek watershed.
