2015 Map of Carbon

About this map

Carbon sits along the Middle Nodaway River in this western Iowa landscape, where the river's winding course defines the township's agricultural layout. This region of Adams County is characterized by a dense grid of rural routes such as Ironwood Ave and Co Rd H20, supporting the dispersed settlements of Quincy and Lincoln Center. The map reveals the local history through its burial grounds, including the Quincy Cem and Oakland Cem, which serve as permanent records of the area's early residents. The topography is shaped by several tributaries, notably Snow Cr, Bull Cr, and Kemp Cr, which feed into the primary river valley. To the east, the edge of Lake Icaria indicates a transition toward managed water resources and recreation, while the surveyor's grid remains the primary organizing force for the farms and homesteads across t73n r35w and surrounding townships.
