About this map

Garnavillo serves as the primary hub in this Clayton County landscape, where the town grid transitions into a network of winding county roads like Clayton Rd and Garber Rd. The area is characterized by a significant number of rural burial grounds, including Saint Joseph Cem and Garnavillo Cem near the town center, while others like McClelland Cem and Ceres Cem are found further afield near the settlement of Ceres.

Drainage systems such as Buck Cr and Miners Cr have carved numerous named hollows into the terrain, including Andy Hollow and Butternut Hollow. These geographic features often correlate with local history, as seen with the Stock School located near Saint Marys Cem in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map documents a predominantly agrarian environment structured by the Public Land Survey System, as indicated by the township and range boundaries of t93n r3w and t92n r3w.
