About this map

Lake Icaria dominates the central landscape of this Adams County region, serving as a primary hydrologic feature alongside the winding Middle Nodaway River. The settlement pattern reflects the area's agricultural foundations, anchored by Corning at the southern edge and smaller communities like Mount Etna and Carl to the north. A significant density of burial sites suggests a long history of local township life, including the Old Mount Etna Cem, Forest Hill Cem, and the Mount Pleasant Cem.

Of particular interest to genealogists are the Old Queen City Cem and Queen City Cem located near the southern border, marking the site of a once-distinct community. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Kemp Creek and Brown Br, which feed into the larger E Nodaway River. A network of rural roads, such as Kentucky Ave and Mt Etna Trl, connects these scattered homesteads and historical landmarks.
