2018 Map of Goose Lake

About this map

Charlotte and the surrounding agricultural lands of Clinton County are defined by a network of creeks and small family burial grounds in this 2018 survey. The landscape is drained by Deep Cr, Cherry Cr, and Honey Cr, which weave through the townships of t83n r4e and t83n r5e. The area is notably dense with small cemeteries, providing a detailed record for genealogists. Beyond the larger Assumption Cem and Saint Patricks Cem, the map identifies several smaller sites like Gohlmann Cem, McClure Cem, and the Clinton County Farm Cem. The eponymous Goose Lake settlement sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, adjacent to its namesake water body. This modern topographic study reveals how 19th-century land divisions and family settlements continue to shape the rural Iowa countryside, with many roads following the original section lines established over a century ago.
