About this map

Wakefield serves as the primary hub in this eastern Clay County landscape, positioned along the western shores of Milford Lake. The town's grid is well-defined by streets such as Birch St and Elm St, with Highland Cem located at its northern edge. The surrounding terrain is a network of section-line roads and creek drainages, including Cane Cr and Quimby Cr, which carve through the agricultural fields of Township 9 South.

Genealogical interest is supported by several burial sites scattered across the rural townships, including Saint Johns Cem and Madura Cem. These landmarks, along with the smaller Clay County Lake, illustrate the distribution of early settlements and local infrastructure before modern developments. The boundary between Clay Co and Dickinson Co at the southern margin provides a clear reference for researchers tracing family property across county lines.
