2018 Map of Fontanelle SW

About this map

Bridgewater sits at the southern edge of this West Central Iowa landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the winding courses of the W Nodaway River and the W Fork Middle Nodaway River. The terrain is defined by these drainages and their tributaries, including Sevenmile Cr and Ninemile Cr, which disrupt the otherwise orderly sections of the Public Land Survey System. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several significant burial sites, such as Saint Mary's Cem and Eureka Cem near the northern boundary, as well as the small settlement of Berea. The sheet also documents the boundary between Cass Co and Adair Co, showing how the rural road network, including routes like Co HWY g43 and Richland RD, navigates the transition between county lines and the natural river valleys of the region.
