2013 Map of Ames NW

About this map

Rosedale sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Clear Lake Township, defined by the systematic grid of rural roads and the meandering drainage of the Iowa prairie. The area is characterized by a network of thoroughfares such as McMurray Ave and Poplar Grove Ave, which segment the terrain into traditional mile-square sections. Waterways provide the primary natural variation in the landscape, with Keigley Br cutting diagonally across the northern and eastern portions of the map. To the southwest, the confluence of Squaw Cr and Montgomery Cr introduces more complex riparian contours. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern configuration of Story and Hamilton County transit, including the prominent naming of George Washington Carver Ave, reflecting the region's agricultural and educational legacy.
