About this map

Gillett Grove sits at the heart of this Clay County landscape, where the Little Sioux River meanders through a valley defined by significant water systems like the Lost Island Outlet and Lexington Cr. The terrain reflects the agricultural grid of northern Iowa, with Section lines established by the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) across townships t96n r36w and t95n r35w. This 2015 edition provides a modern view of rural life where legacy features remain central to the community's footprint.

Local history is grounded at the Rosehill Cem, located west of the river along 250th Ave. The map details the intricate road network of named avenues and streets, such as Co Hwy B53 and Co Hwy B40, which connect the scattered farmsteads and manage the drainage of Prairie Cr and Elk Cr. The topography reveals the subtle shifts in elevation that dictate the path of the river and its various marshlands.
