2018 Map of Carson NE

About this map

Wheeler Grove Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem sit within a landscape of deeply dissected loess hills in this rural corner of Southwest Iowa. The map documents the border between Pottawattamie and Montgomery counties, where a dense network of watercourses including Spring Cr, Jordan Cr, and Indian Cr have carved a complex topography of ridges and draws. This drainage pattern dictates the placement of roads like Pioneer Trl and Beechnut Rd, which often follow the natural contours of the land. For genealogists, the placement of the Center Ridge Cem and Elliot Hillside Cem provides vital spatial context for early settler families in these townships. The map reflects a modern agricultural era where traditional section-line roads like Cottonwood Rd and Applewood Rd intersect with the winding paths of Farm Cr and Little Indian Cr.
