About this map

The settlement of Globe sits at the junction of several rural routes in southern Douglas County, marking a landscape defined by its creek valleys and high ground. To the northwest, the distinctive Twin Mounds rise above the surrounding terrain, accompanied by the Twin Mounds Cem. This 2022 survey captures the area's agricultural character, where numerous small watercourses like Elk Cr and Rock Cr carve through the plains.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several historic burial grounds, including Rock Creek Cem, Washington Creek Cem, and Dodder Cem, which serve as anchors for the scattered rural population. The eastern edge of the map features the northern reach of Lone Star Lake, while Cloud Airport represents a more modern aviation landmark amidst the traditional farmstead grid. The drainage patterns of Eightmile Cr and Appanoose Cr dictate much of the local road network and land use.
