2015 Map of Gayville NE

About this map

Westreville and the surrounding township in Clay County are defined by a grid of rural roads and scattered historical landmarks. The landscape transitions from the higher elevations of Cabbage Flat and the northern drainages of Norwegian Gulch down toward the southern lowlands shaped by the Clay Cr Ditch. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain heavily utilized for agriculture, where drainage is managed by both natural and artificial means, including Spring Cr and the Dillon Spring. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating numerous small burial grounds that mark the heritage of the early settler families, such as Union Cem, Saint Patricks Cem, and the South Lodi Cem. The southern edge is defined by Bluff Rd, which follows the topographical break overlooking the Missouri River valley floor just beyond the quadrangle boundary.
