2022 Map of Ames NW

About this map

A dense network of section-line roads and family-named cemeteries defines the rural landscape at the intersection of Story, Hamilton, and Boone Counties. The terrain is marked by the meandering courses of Ioway Creek and its southern tributary, Montgomery Cr, while Keigley Br cuts across the northeastern reaches. This 2022 survey captures the persistent agricultural grid of central Iowa, where long-established church grounds like Saint Paul's Church Cem and Saints Peter and Paul Cem serve as focal points for local genealogy and history. Significant thoroughfares including George Washington Carver Ave and Little Wall Lake Rd connect these outlying farmsteads and rural townships, illustrating the modern continuity of a landscape shaped by early land-grant surveying.
