About this map

Ames serves as the primary urban center in this 2015 study, where the convergence of the South Skunk River and Squaw Creek defines the local topography. This period shows the city's residential and institutional reach extending toward the historic community of Bloomington. The landscape is a mix of contemporary expansion and long-standing agricultural boundaries, with the river corridor providing a natural break in the grid-iron road system.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the rural township sections, including family-named landmarks like Arrasmith Cem, McMichael Cem, and Brouhard Cem. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are marked by McFarland Lake and the winding course of Bear Cr, while the western edge of Nevada appears at the map's eastern periphery. This documentation of Story County captures the modern infrastructure of Dayton Pkwy alongside traditional landmarks like the Pleasant Grove Cem.
