2013 Map of Fontanelle SW

About this map

Berea sits at the northern edge of this agricultural landscape in Adair County, situated near the headwaters where the W Fork Middle Nodaway River begins its course southward. The map reveals a quintessential Iowa section-line grid, defined by routes such as Adair-Cass Ave and Lansing Rd, which partition the fertile terrain between numerous waterways. In addition to the primary river forks, smaller tributaries like Ninemile Cr, Sevenmile Cr, and Rutt Br create a dendritic drainage pattern that has historically dictated the placement of farmsteads and rural infrastructure. The southern boundary is marked by a major transit corridor along 270th St, providing a clear look at the intersection of local township roads and regional hydrologic features during the early 21st century.
