About this map

The South Skunk River corridor anchors this portion of Story County, flowing southward past the eastern edges of Ames and the small community of Shipley. The landscape is a mix of agricultural plots and expanding residential developments, particularly noticeable around the city of Huxley and the town of Cambridge. In the southern reaches, the Ballard Creek drainage system intersects with local landmarks like the Ballard Cemetery and Palestine Cemetery, reflecting the area's deep-rooted pioneer heritage.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is represented by the Ames Municipal Airport in the northwest, while a dense grid of rural roads—such as Co Rd E63 and Co Rd E57—connects various family-named burial grounds including Lincoln Cemetery and Sunday Cemetery. The map highlights the transition from traditional farming tracts to the suburban outskirts of the Ames-Des Moines corridor, evidenced by the clustered settlements of Midvale and the network of local street names branching from the main thoroughfares.
