2018 Map of Saint Olaf

About this map

The town of St. Olaf is the primary settlement on this Clayton County landscape, positioned along a network of county roads that traverse the rolling Iowa countryside. The terrain is deeply defined by a complex drainage system, where Roberts Cr and Silver Cr carve through the land before reaching the Turkey River in the south. This area is notable for its concentration of small family and community burial grounds, which offer a high level of detail for local genealogical research. Sites such as Johanningmeier Cem, Weymouth Cem, and Patterson Cem are clustered together, suggesting a dense history of early family homesteads. The presence of the United Brethren Cem and Norway Cem further underscores the cultural and religious foundations of the early pioneers who established these rural communities near Big Spring.
