About this map

Riley and the southern edge of Fowler anchor this Clinton County landscape, characterized by an extensive network of managed agricultural drainage that defines the local hydrology. The land is crisscrossed by named waterways such as the Dallas and Bengal Drain, Evert and Stewart Drain, and Nuffer and Sturgis Drain, which support the intensive farming of the region. This 2019 survey provides a precise view of the rural infrastructure, including a significant concentration of local burial grounds such as Saint Peter's Lutheran Cem and Oak Ridge Cem.

Central to the township, Forest Hill Airport stands as a notable landmark amidst the grid of country roads. The natural features of Stony Creek and Mud Lake provide contrast to the geometric precision of the township lines and drainage systems. For those studying local heritage, the map preserves the locations of numerous family and community landmarks like Boughton Cem and Georgia Cem, offering a contemporary look at a landscape deeply rooted in its agricultural and community foundations.
