About this map

Lawrenceton sits at the center of this 2011 survey, where the winding course of the Fourche a Du Clos cuts through a landscape defined by significant water management and rural interment sites. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the residential development surrounding Goose Creek Lake, while further south, the Erb Lake complex features infrastructure such as Lake Seven Falls Dam Number 2.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds across the township, including Bockemeyer Cemetery in the north and Mackley Cemetery near the southern boundary. The topography transitions from the lowlands of Pinhook Hollow to the elevation of Little Vine Hill, with various creek branches like Pin Hook Branch and Hickory Creek draining the territory. Evidence of historical industry is noted by a Mill and several named dams, including the Number 615 Dam along Terre Bleue Creek.
