2018 Map of Adel

About this map

The South Raccoon River and North Raccoon River converge just east of Adel, a landscape defined by the winding waterways of Dallas County. The area’s cemetery records are well-documented here, with sites including Gibson Cem, Panther Creek Cem, Longmire Cem, Ellis Cem, and McKibben Cem scattered across the rural townships. Transportation history is marked by the Adel Bridge and the Bulger Creek Bridge, which connect the town of Adel to outlying settlements like Kennedy and Garretville. The road network shows a transition from traditional routes like Horse-N-Buggy Dr to modern highway corridors, while the southern edge of the map follows the Dallas Co Madison Co border. Significant drainage systems such as Bulger Creek and Panther Creek carve through the agricultural land, illustrating the complex hydrography that has shaped local settlement patterns for generations.
