About this map

The Middle Nodaway River winds through this rural landscape of Adams County, anchoring the settlement of Carbon. The river is joined by several tributaries, including Bull Creek and Show Creek, reflecting a well-drained agricultural terrain. Historically centered around the Carbon Post Office, this area demonstrates a transition from earlier settlement patterns to a modern grid of county roads.

To the east, Lake Icaria and the Lake Icaria Dam indicate significant water management and recreational development. Local history and genealogy are preserved in sites such as Quincy Cemetery and Oakland Cemetery, located near the small community of Quincy. The map also captures the northern hamlet of Lincoln Center, providing a clear record of the townships and rural junctions as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
