2010 Map of Bassett

About this map

Little Cedar River winds south through this corner of Chickasaw County, defining a landscape of agricultural sections and river-bottom timber. The small settlement of Bassett sits near the eastern edge, while the hamlets of Carrville and Midway occupy the southwest corner near the confluence of local drainage with the larger Cedar River. This survey captures the rural layout of the region in the early 21st century, showing how the original land survey grid persists through modern roads like Victory Ave and Beaumont Ave. Notable local landmarks include the Charles City Municipal Airport in the west and the Cedar View Cemetery to the east. Several smaller waterways, including Beaver Creek, Schultz Creek, and Gizzard Creek, feed into the primary river systems, creating a network of drainage that has long dictated the placement of homesteads and infrastructure in this part of Iowa.
