2011 Map of Stockham

About this map

Stockham serves as the central hub for this portion of Clay County, situated along a bend in the West Fork Big Blue River. The landscape is dominated by a grid of agricultural section roads including N Stockham Rd and Road 325, illustrating the enduring pattern of Great Plains land division. To the southwest, the community of Eldorado sits near the junction of the North Branch West Fork Big Blue River, while the Stockham Cemetery provides a primary point of interest for those tracing family history in the township. Water management in the area is represented by the Nuss Reservoir and Nuss Dam, which collect runoff from the surrounding prairie. This 2011 survey captures the region's character as a stable farming landscape, defined more by its creek drainage and section lines than by industrial expansion.
