2017 Map of Clearmont

About this map

The Nodaway River meanders across the border of Iowa and Missouri, anchoring a rural landscape defined by small agricultural hubs and scattered local history markers. This 2017 survey shows the proximity of College Springs and Braddyville in Page County, Iowa, to the neighboring Missouri settlements of Elmo and Clearmont in Nodaway County. The terrain is marked by numerous watercourses including E Mill Cr, Buchanan Cr, and Sink Cr, which drain the surrounding farmland. Genealogists can identify several local burial grounds that have served these communities for generations, such as Maple Hill Cem, Union Grove Cem, Braddyville Cem, and Oak Hill Cem. The map provides a contemporary view of the region's road network, from state routes like State Hwy D and State Hwy KK to the section-line gravel roads that continue to define the rural Midwest's spatial organization.
