2021 Map of Hub City

About this map

Vermillion River meanders through this agricultural landscape in Clay County, defining the drainage patterns and historical settlement clusters of the region. The map reveals a high concentration of small rural communities and denominational landmarks, including Hub City and the historic church site at Dalesburg Baptist Cem. Notable landforms such as Spirit Mound and Cabbage Flat punctuate the grid of section-line roads, offering insight into the local topography that guided early pioneers. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, ranging from Old Lodi Cem in the northwest to Clay Point Cem in the south. The proximity of Lodi Airport and Glenwood Field suggests a continued reliance on small-scale aviation for agricultural and local transit into the modern era, while the rural post-office settlements like Bloomingdale and Lodi maintain their positions within the township structure.
