About this map

The Volga River winds through the heart of this Clayton County landscape, anchoring the settlement of Volga. This modern survey details the intricate drainage system of the region, where tributaries like Mink Cr, Deep Cr, and Nagle Cr carve through the terrain. Notable landforms include the striking Pilot Knob and the descriptive draws of German Hollow and Hells Hollow.

For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several distinct burial sites and former institutional grounds, such as the Sacred Heart Schoolhouse Yard Cem, Stone School Cem, and Rothfusz Cem. To the south, the smaller settlement of Thomasville sits near the banks of Ensign Cr. The grid of county roads and section lines reveals a landscape deeply tied to its agricultural roots, where legacy family names are preserved through landmarks like the Duff Cem.
