2018 Map of Bassett

About this map

Bassett and Carrville anchor this agricultural landscape along the winding course of the Little Cedar River. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of several tributaries, including Beaver Cr and Schultz Cr, which carve through the Iowa plains. The confluence of the Little Cedar River and the main Cedar River in the southwestern corner highlights the importance of these waterways to the regional geography. Transportation is centered on a grid of rural roads and highways, including Co HWY b59 and Co HWY b57, facilitating movement between small centers like Midway. The presence of the Northeast Iowa Regional Airport north of Gizzard Cr indicates a modern layer of infrastructure laid over a traditional farming foundation, while the Cedar View Cem on the eastern edge provides a localized point of genealogical interest for Chickasaw County families.
