About this map

The Middle Nodaway River and E Nodaway River carve the landscape of northern Adams County, framing a region defined by agricultural traditions and rural settlements. This 2018 survey documents the northern edge of Corning, where the town gives way to the rolling uplands of southwest Iowa. The central focus is Lake Icaria, a significant water feature that breaks the geometric grid of township and range lines.

For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, including the Old Mount Etna Cem and Mount Etna Cem near the settlement of Mount Etna. Further south, the presence of both Queen City Cem and the Old Queen City Cem indicates the legacy of earlier communities that once thrived in the area. Smaller family and community sites like Homan Cem, Forest Hill Cem, and Carl Cem near the crossroads of Carl further preserve the names and locations of historical pioneer homesteads.
