2013 Map of Dewey

About this map

Dewey sits as a quiet hub in this section of Southwest Iowa, where a network of precisely laid section roads connects the high ground between numerous drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the W Nodaway River and its varied tributaries, which carve through the agricultural tableland. Smaller watercourses such as Whistlers Br and Prosser Cr feed the larger river system, reflecting the natural drainage patterns that have long dictated farm placement and road alignments in this part of Cass County. This topographic study by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the intersection of rural infrastructure, such as Adams-Cass St, with the meandering creeks that define the local terrain, including Williams Cr and Petersons Cr.
