About this map

Clearmont and Braddyville anchor this 1981 study of the borderlands between Page and Nodaway counties. The Nodaway River meanders south across the Iowa Missouri state line, flanked by an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the shifting transportation networks of the late twentieth century. In the southwest, the town of Elmo is served by the Norfolk and Western railroad, highlighting the continued importance of rail transit for these agricultural communities.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural landmarks, including the Maple Hill Cem, Union Grove Cem, and Elmo Cem. Educational and infrastructure features like the South Page Sch and Sewage Disposal Ponds near Braddyville provide a functional look at the civic layout of the era. The terrain is defined by numerous watercourses such as Mill Creek, Buchanan Creek, and Wolf Creek, which drain the townships of Amity, Lincoln, and Atchison.
