2010 Map of Colwell

About this map

Colwell serves as the primary hub of this Floyd County landscape, which is defined by its rectilinear grid of rural roads and the meandering courses of several vital waterways. The Wapsipinicon River snakes along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, while the Little Cedar River and Beaver Creek cut through the southwestern and southern sections. This 2010 survey illustrates a quiet agricultural area punctuated by established burial grounds such as Saint Patricks Cemetery and Beckwith Cemetery, providing clear landmarks for genealogical research. The small settlement of Nilesville sits in the southwest, anchoring a network of thoroughfares like Victory Ave and Walnut Ave that facilitate movement between these isolated prairie communities.
