2015 Map of Mankato NW

About this map

Cleveland Cem and Shaffer Cem mark the rural uplands of Jewell County, highlighting a landscape defined by traditional section-line roads and family-named watercourses. The drainage patterns here are complex, with Norway Cr and Taylor Cr carving southward toward the more substantial White Rock Cr. The southern portion of the map shows a shift in topography as these various tributaries, including Troublesome Cr and Big Timber Cr, converge near the established thoroughfare of White Rock Rd. For genealogists, the proximity of Olive Hill Cem to these creeks offers a clear view of the historic burial sites that served the farming families scattered across township lines T1S and T2S.
