About this map

The South Skunk River meanders through this portion of Story County, Iowa, defining the drainage patterns of the fertile agricultural plains. The southern edge of Ames occupies the northwest corner, where the Ames Municipal Airport and Memorial Gardens Cem mark the city's expansion. Further south, the map details smaller established communities like Huxley and Cambridge, which are linked by a network of county roads and interstate corridor.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family and community burial sites, including Sunday Cem, Lincoln Cem, and the Palestine Cem located near the southern boundary. The landscape is characterized by its creek systems, such as Walnut Cr and Ballard Cr, which intersect the section lines of the township survey. Small settlements like Midvale and Shipley represent the rural hubs that have historically supported the surrounding farmland.
