2010 Map of Goose Lake

About this map

Charlotte and the nearby village of Goose Lake anchor this 2010 survey of eastern Iowa's agricultural heartland. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Deep Creek and Honey Creek, which cut through a dense grid of township roads. For genealogists and local historians, this map is particularly dense with burial sites, including the Clinton County Farm Cemetery, Saint Patricks Cemetery, and McClure Cemetery. These sites, along with the Glahn Cemetery and Gohlmann Cemetery, provide a clear record of the area's pioneer families and early religious communities. The small settlement of Villanova sits at the intersection of 175th St and 330th Ave, while the Charlotte Post Office and Goose Lake Post Office mark the ongoing civic centers for these rural townships. The drainage patterns of Willow Creek and Brophy Creek illustrate the natural topography that shaped early farmstead placement across the quadrangle.
