About this map

Saint Peters Cem, Fairview Cem, and Dowlin Cem stand as significant genealogical anchors across this rural landscape along the Clay County and Union County line. The settlement pattern is defined by a rigorous section-line grid of gravel roads and local thoroughfares like Burbank Rd and Coyote St, which connect dispersed farmsteads between the small communities of Midway and Junction City. The terrain is shaped by the presence of Brule Cr in the northeast and the low-lying drainage of Government Slough in the south, illustrating the agricultural utility of the land in the mid-2010s. This survey captures a specific moment in the rural development of Fairview Township, documenting the persistent placement of historic burial grounds amidst a modern transportation network.
