About this map

The W Nodaway River and its numerous tributaries, including Elm Cr and Petersons Cr, carve through this section of the Iowa plains at the border of Cass Co and Adams Co. This landscape is defined by the rigid precision of the Public Land Survey System, where a dense network of section-line roads like 750th St and named avenues such as Ironwood Ave partition the agricultural terrain.

Genealogists will find the locations of Saint Timothy Cem and Victoria Cem particularly valuable for tracing local family history. The small settlement of Massena occupies the northern edge of the map, while the locality of Dewey sits further south along the eastern boundary. This 2015 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure, including Co Hwy G61 and Wichita Rd, overlays a traditional rural structure of townships like t74n r35w.
