1971 Map of Adair North

About this map

Adair sits at the southern edge of this West Central Iowa landscape, where three counties—Audubon, Guthrie, and Adair—meet in a complex of rural townships including Bear Grove and Grant. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Troublesome Creek, Crooked Creek, and the Middle River, which carve through the agricultural uplands. Evidence of former transportation networks is visible in the Old RR Grade running near the southern boundary, a feature of significant interest to those tracing the evolution of the regional rail economy. Local history is anchored by several rural landmarks, such as Kenfield, New Bethel Church, and the Townhall. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for St Johns Cemetery, Pleasant Hill Cemetery, and Immanuel Cemetery, preserving the placement of these community cornerstones as they appeared in the early 1970s.
