About this map

The East Nodaway River winds through this rural section of Adams County, anchoring the small settlement of Brooks and its surrounding agricultural landscape. This 2010 survey illustrates a community deeply rooted in its local geography, where family-named roads like Fig Ave and Garden Ave form a grid across the drainage basins of Kemp Creek and Long Branch. The map is particularly detailed regarding local burial grounds, documenting the Old Brooks Cemetery, Brooks Cemetery, and the Methodist Grove Cemetery, providing a clear spatial record for genealogical research.

Transportation patterns are defined by the convergence of water and road, exemplified by the Snider Bridge crossing. While Corning appears at the northeastern edge near the Corning Municipal Airport, the southern reaches near Iveyville transition into the watershed of the West Fork One Hundred and Two River. Multiple small airstrips, including Bycroft Landing Field and Brown Truck Sales Airport, suggest a landscape where private aviation supports the modern farming economy.
