2015 Map of Wakonda

About this map

Wakonda anchors this prairie landscape, where the town street grid is clearly defined by routes like Slant St, Ohio St, and Montana St. This part of Clay County and Turner County reveals a highly managed agricultural environment, evidenced by an extensive network of drainage features including Flynn Dickerson Ditch, Bonne Ditch, and Klepke Ditch. These man-made channels support the larger natural waterways of the Vermillion River and Spring Cr. Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks such as Holland Cem and Columkill Cem, while the inclusion of Norwegian Gulch and Colfax Corner highlights specific local place-names and topographic identifiers that define the rural character of the region. The map provides a precise layout of the section lines and township ranges that have organized this territory since its early settlement.
