About this map

Corning sits at the northwest corner of this agricultural landscape, serving as the hub for the surrounding township at the turn of the 21st century. The town's infrastructure is anchored by the Corning Post Office, while the northern edge is defined by the Adams County Fairgrounds and the adjacent Adams County Speedway. This survey highlights a grid of section roads that navigate a series of significant waterways, including the East Nodaway River and the uniquely named West Fork One Hundred and Two River.

Genealogists will find notable value in the distribution of burial sites across the quadrangle. From the concentrated cluster of Walnut Grove Cemetery, Oak Hill Cemetery, and Calvary Cemetery near the city center to the more isolated Icarian Cemetery further east, these landmarks anchor the history of family settlements in the region. Small rural locations like Mercer and Holt punctuate the grid, marking the intersections of an economy long tied to the drainage basins of Willow Creek and Lonzo Creek.
