2010 Map of Canby

About this map

Canby and the surrounding township in Adair County are defined by a network of rural roads and the meandering courses of the Middle Nodaway River and its tributaries. This agricultural landscape is anchored by quiet settlements and historic sites like Prussia Centre and Linwood. The map reveals a high concentration of small community burial grounds, including Saint Josephs Cemetery, Oakwood Cemetery, and the Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Iowa. Waterways like Ninemile Creek, North Turkey Creek, and Rutt Branch cut through the sections, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped local farming for generations. The northern edge is dominated by modern infrastructure, featuring the Adair West Bound Rest Area and Adair East Bound Rest Area along the interstate, contrasting with the slower pace of the interior section lines.
