2022 Map of Gunder

About this map

The settlement of Gunder anchors the northeast corner of this agricultural survey, characterized by the deeply carved valley of the Turkey River as it winds through the western landscape toward Elgin. The terrain is a network of ridges and drainages including Dry Run, Sand Cr, and Beaver Cr, which shape the rural road system. This area of Clayton County is notable for its concentrated heritage sites, particularly the numerous family and congregational burial grounds that dot the countryside. Researchers can locate the East Clermont Lutheran Cem, Marion Lutheran Cem, and the Apostolic Cem, alongside several smaller plots like Cook Cem and Mork Cem. In the south, the community of Highland sits near the Highland Lutheran Cem, illustrating the importance of these church-centered nodes in the local social geography. The intricate contour lines reveal the transition from high farm plateaus to the steep slopes of the river breaks.
