About this map

The southern outskirts of Clarinda and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Page County define this 2015 survey. The town's grid extends south to Clarinda Cem, while the winding course of the S Br W Nodaway River and West Nodaway River carve through the section lines of the surrounding countryside. This area reflects a long-settled rural economy, preserved in a network of gravel roads and scattered hamlets like Shambaugh and College Springs.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites distributed across the townships, including the Butler Cem near the southern border and the Lee Grove Cem positioned between the forks of the river. Small water bodies and creeks like No Business Cr and Middle Mill Cr provide landmarks for tracing 19th-century land patents. The map also documents local features such as Schenck Lake and Schenck Field, capturing the specific geography of these southwestern Iowa communities.
