2015 Map of Goose Lake

About this map

The town of Charlotte serves as a primary hub for this rural landscape in Clinton County, situated where Deep Cr and Willow Cr converge. The area is defined by a dense concentration of burial sites that offer significant value for genealogical research, including the Clinton County Farm Cem and several family-named locations such as Rossiter Cem, McClure Cem, and Gohlmann Cem. To the east, the village of Goose Lake borders its eponymous wetland and water body, connected to the surrounding countryside by a network of county highways including Co HWY e55 and Co HWY e56. The terrain is shaped by the winding paths of Cherry Cr and Brophy Cr, illustrating the drainage patterns that have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and agricultural boundaries in this part of eastern Iowa.
