The layout below is a "reasonably accurate" representation of Clay
Co townships. City names are in * bold, with a leading "*"; township
names are not. "Clicking" anywhere on the map will take you to a 1 mile
square map from An Atlas of Clay County Illinois, published by D.J.
Lake & Co in 1881. Once at that level you may move through the county
to see who lived where in 1881. Enjoy!
