2018 Map of Anamosa

About this map

Anamosa serves as the regional hub in this Jones County landscape, where the Wapsipinicon River carves a winding path through the limestone-rich terrain. The map details the historic quarries of Stone City, a community defined by its proximity to the river and the Buffalo Creek confluence. Throughout the surrounding countryside, a high density of rural burial grounds provides a deep record for local genealogists, including Holy Cross Cem, Boot Hill Cem, and the Wilcox Cem near Fairview. The southern portion of the survey captures the small settlement of Martelle near the Linn County line, marking a shift toward the headwaters of Elbow Cr and the various forks of Walnut Cr. Numerous local transit corridors like Stone City Rd X28 and the Lower Road Bridge illustrate how these disconnected hamlets remain stitched together across the undulating Iowa hills.
