About this map

Lathrop serves as the central hub for this portion of Clinton County, shown here during the mid-1980s as a well-established rural community defined by its grid-pattern streets and local landmarks like the Radio Tower and Sewage Disposal Ponds. The landscape is a network of drainage systems and agricultural infrastructure, where the Muddy Fork and Crooked River converge near the small settlement of Converse to the south.

Evidence of the area's utility and industry is visible through the prominent Wooden Pole Trans Line and several substations that crisscross the terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the placement of the Bethel Cem and an unnamed Cem within the town limits provides specific points of reference for family research. Water features like Lake Lenore and Lake Mc Ginness break the repeating pattern of drainage creeks such as Little Shoal Creek and Grindstone Creek.
