2010 Map of Yale

About this map

Yale and Jamaica anchor this portion of the Guthrie County landscape, where the rectilinear grid of rural roads meets a network of meandering waterways. The North Raccoon River cuts across the northeastern corner, while Mosquito Creek and Greenbrier Creek drain the surrounding prairie lands. These small settlements remain vital local hubs, marked by the presence of the Yale Post Office and Jamaica Post Office. The map captures a transition point at Herndon, situated at a significant road junction north of Yale. For those tracing local heritage, several burial grounds are preserved across the townships, including Richland Memorial Cemetery, Richland Cemetery, and Yale Cemetery. The geography is defined by a consistent pattern of agricultural section lines, interrupted only by the natural curves of Bay Branch and Fannys Branch.
