About this map

Muddy Fork and New Hope Creek carve through the glacial landscape of the Grand River Loess Flats and Drift Hills, defining the rural character of this northern Clay County region. The small communities of Holt, Haynesville, and Converse are linked by a network of local roads and the primary north-south corridor of I-35. The area is notable for its numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Antioch Cemetery, Wilson Cemetery, and Oakland Cemetery, which serve as vital markers of local lineage and early settlement patterns.

Water features like Lake Arrowhead and the Number 179 Reservoir contrast with the agricultural uplands, while the southeastern corner is anchored by the historic grounds of Watkins Mill State Park. Smaller private aviation sites such as Sellers Airport and the Northwood Airport indicate the modern land use of these former farmsteads. The map captures a transition between the established village centers and the expanding residential footprints near Kearney.
