2022 Map of Exira West

About this map

The East Nishnabotna River carves a path through the rolling agricultural landscape of Audubon and Cass Counties, defining the drainage patterns for numerous local tributaries like Little Indian Cr and Davids Cr. The settlement of Exira serves as a primary hub in the northeast corner of the sheet, while the town of Brayton is situated further south along the river valley. The region's history is anchored by its rural burial grounds, including Adventist Cem, Saint Johns Cem, Oak Hill Cem, and Oakfield Cem, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research. The T-Bone Trl follows a linear path through the valley, highlighting the transformation of former transportation corridors into modern recreational routes. This survey reflects the enduring grid of section-line roads such as Goldfinch Ave and 300th St that partition the landscape between the river's winding course.
