2013 Map of Anamosa

About this map

Anamosa serves as the focal point of this Jones County survey, situated along a sharp bend in the Wapsipinicon River. The landscape is defined by the river’s winding course, which passes by the Wapsipinicon State Park and flows beneath the Lower Road Bridge. To the west, the settlement of Stone City is nestled near the confluence of Buffalo Cr and the main river channel, while the smaller hamlets of Fairview and Martelle are connected by a network of rural roads traversing the southern agricultural plains. Local transit and infrastructure are further marked by Lerchs Airport and the crossroads at Morley. The mapping of several smaller waterways, including Dutch Cr and the N Fork Walnut Cr, highlights the drainage patterns that have historically influenced the region's farmstead locations and early settlement development.
