2015 Map of Anamosa

About this map

Anamosa and the nearby quarry town of Stone City anchor this portion of the Wapsipinicon River valley, though the river itself flows just outside the immediate frame. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Buffalo Creek and a dense network of country roads like Ridge Road E28 and Stone City Rd E28. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, ranging from the prominent Riverside Cem and Holy Cross Cem to smaller family or rural plots like Boot Hill Cem and Spade Cem. The rural character persists through the small communities of Fairview, Martelle, and Morley, while the inclusion of Lerchs Airport and the Lower Road Bridge suggests the localized transportation hubs that serve this agricultural corridor.
