2012 Map of Rutland SE

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Clare Township in Moody County is meticulously recorded in this 2012 survey, revealing a rigid section-line grid of rural roads and scattered homesteads. Significant genealogical markers are preserved in the locations of Martinson Cem and Mount Auburn Cem, which serve as quiet anchors for the local farming community. The terrain is characterized by subtle drainage patterns and small depressions, with Mud Lake marking the southern boundary of the quadrangle. This map reflects a period where modern infrastructure, including the north-south interstate corridor, intersects with the traditional rural network of roads like Co Hwy O and Co Hwy M, illustrating the persistence of early prairie settlement patterns into the twenty-first century.
