1965 Map of Maple Rapids

About this map

Maple Rapids sits at the northern edge of Clinton County, where the Maple River carves through a landscape defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage. This 1965 survey reveals a rural society built around small hubs and local institutions, including the crossroads of Cox and the southern village of Fowler. The terrain is famously characterized by The Island, an elevated landform surrounded by the river and various drains like Stone Waters Drain and Catlin Drain.
