1980 Map of Andrew

About this map

The town of Andrew sits at the convergence of several rural townships in eastern Iowa, serving as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural landscape. During the late 1970s, the area maintained its traditional rural character, anchored by small settlements like Cottonville and the local church grounds at St Johns Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Brush Creek, Jess Branch, and Cedar Creek, which carve through the countryside and influence the placement of farms and roads. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible through a scattered Quarry and the Sewage Disposal Ponds near the primary town site. This map provides a clear view of the intersection between Richland, Bellevue, Perry, and Jackson townships, offering genealogists a precise look at the land and cemeteries such as the County Cem and a lonely Grave site as they existed forty years ago.
