2022 Map of Giard

About this map

Froelich and Giard anchor the southern reaches of this Clayton County landscape, where the terrain is deeply etched by the drainage of Bloody Run and Sny Magill Cr. The map reveals a rural pattern of development defined by family-named cemeteries and small settlements, such as Ion in the north near the Yellow River and Watson situated along the ridge. Of particular interest to local historians and genealogists are the dedicated burial sites scattered across the townships, including the Railroad Employee Cem near Beulah and the Saint Wenceslaus Cem, which reflect the ethnic and industrial heritage of the region. The infrastructure is characterized by a network of winding roads like Spook Cave Rd and Suttle Creek Rd that navigate the varied elevations, while the Monona Municipal Airport provides a modern navigational landmark amidst the traditional farmsteads and creek valleys.
