2010 Map of Gillett Grove

About this map

Gillett Grove serves as the central hub of this northern Iowa landscape, situated near the convergence of the Little Sioux River and Elk Creek. The town is the site of the local Gillett Grove Post Office, while the surrounding rural landscape is defined by a strict section-line road grid, including 280th Ave and 430th St. To the northwest, Rosehill Cemetery marks a quiet landmark above the river valley. The drainage patterns of the region are clearly defined, showing the winding course of the Little Sioux as it receives water from Lexington Creek, Prairie Creek, and the Lost Island Outlet. This 2010 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural character of Clay County, where the relationship between the meandering river system and the organized township layout remains the primary geographical feature.
