About this map

Okolona anchors the northern edge of this Clark County landscape, where the terrain shifts toward the bottomlands of the Little Missouri River. This survey captures the rural character of the region as it transitions between upland ridges and the complex hydrography of the river valley. Significant genealogical landmarks are concentrated near the settlements, including the Okolona Cem and the geographically distinct Rome Cem and Old Rome Cem further south near Burtsell.

The southern portion of the map is defined by a dense network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies such as Grassy Lake, Half Moon Slough, and Beaver Slough. These features, along with tributaries like the S Fork Terre Noire Cr and Middle Creek, illustrate the historical importance of natural drainage in shaping local road placement and land use. Small family-named routes like Orsburn Rd and Nubbin Hill Rd suggest long-standing local habitations within the township and range system.
