About this map

The Eel River and its complex network of tributaries, including Birch Creek and Splunge Creek, define the topography of this section of Clay County. The settlement of Saline City sits in the northeast corner, situated near where Crooked Cr meets the larger river system. This area is characterized by low-lying drainage features like Lafferty Ditch and Conneley Ditch, which suggest a long history of water management to support local agriculture.

Genealogists can find significant local landmarks such as Staggs Cem, Zion Gummere Cem, and Maple Grove Cem. The presence of W Towpath Rd following the river corridor points to earlier transportation routes, while more modern developments like Turner Farms Airport and the settlement at Old Hill show the continued evolution of the landscape. Distinctive terrain features such as Hickory Island emerge from the surrounding wetlands and sloughs, including Big Slough and Little Slough.
