2018 Map of Anamosa NE

About this map

Buffalo Creek and its various tributaries, including Deer Cr and Helmer Cr, carve a complex drainage pattern across this Jones County landscape. The southern edge of the survey captures the northern expansion of Anamosa, while the remainder of the territory is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads and rural intersections. Notable for genealogists are the several dedicated burial grounds preserved among the farmsteads, such as Prairie Hill Cem and the Cass Congregational Cem. Local history is embedded in the road names themselves, with routes like Old Church Rd, Hickory Grove Rd, and Old Cass Rd tracing the paths of early settlement clusters and community landmarks across the townships of t86n r4w and t85n r4w.
