2010 Map of Ames NW

About this map

The unincorporated settlement of Rosendale sits at the heart of this rural Iowa landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of local roads like Nelson Ave and 390th St. This 2010 survey of Clear Lake Township reveals a territory deeply tied to its heritage through its numerous burial grounds, including Saint Paul's Lutheran Cemetery in the north and the South Saint Petri Cemetery near the southern boundary. These cemeteries, alongside Ellsworth Clear Lake Cemetery and Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery, offer significant points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in Hamilton and Story counties. The terrain is drained by several meandering watercourses, most notably Keigley Branch, which cuts diagonally across the township, and the headwaters of Squaw Creek and Montgomery Creek in the southwest.
