About this map

Globe serves as a central landmark for this rural Douglas County landscape, situated at the intersection of a sprawling network of numbered county roads. The settlement of Twin Mounds and the nearby Twin Mounds Cem occupy the northwestern corner, while the eastern edge is defined by the significant reservoir waters of Lone Star Lake and the southern reaches of Clinton Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds distributed across these townships, including Dodder Cem, Rock Creek Cem, and Washington Creek Cem. The drainage pattern is heavily influenced by the tributaries of Washington Cr and Eightmile Cr. To the north, Clinton State Park buffers the reservoir, while Cloud Airport indicates the continued utility of the open terrain for local aviation. The map preserves the alignment of the region's agricultural road grid and the course of numerous creeks that have shaped the development of this prairie environment.
