2015 Map of Globe

About this map

Globe sits at the intersection of rural routes in southwestern Douglas County, serving as a quiet focal point for this agricultural landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding drainages of Eightmile Cr and Washington Cr, which feed into the larger reservoirs that bookend the region. To the north, the waters of Clinton Lake reach into the quadrangle, while Lone Star Lake is carved into the hills to the east. The land is marked by significant historical waypoints, including the prominent Twin Mounds and a series of small, localized burial grounds like Twin Mounds Cem and Dodder Cem that speak to the generation of family farmsteads established here. The presence of Cloud Airport among the grid of county roads indicates the continued utility of the open plains for local transit and commerce.
