2021 Map of Guilford

About this map

The Platte River winds through this rural landscape in Nodaway County, anchoring the small communities of Guilford and Conception. In the northeast, the presence of Conception Seminary College and the adjacent Saint Columba Cem points to the area's deep-rooted religious and educational foundations. The terrain is marked by a network of local creeks, including Clear Cr, Turkey Cr, and Oldtown Cr, which drain the agricultural uplands into the river valley. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the township, such as Weathermon Cem and Groves Cem, often located near historical homesteads and rural crossroads. The Conception Abbey Reservoir serves as a localized water feature near the college, while a grid of roads like State Hwy VV and State Hwy M connects the disparate farmsteads and small settlements that define the region's mid-century character.
