2010 Map of Lewis

About this map

The East Nishnabotna River carves a winding path through this portion of Cass County, anchoring the town of Lewis. This area displays the grid-like precision of Iowa's rural road system, where routes like Lansing Rd and Richland Rd delineate the agricultural landscape. The town center is marked by the Lewis Post Office, while the Oakwood Cemetery sits just to the northeast, serving as a significant site for genealogical research. Multiple waterways converge in this territory, including Spring Creek, Turkey Creek, and Baughmans Creek, which dictate the local topography and historical drainage patterns. The settlement pattern here reflects a stable agricultural community centered around the river valley, with the rural sections divided into large parcels typical of the Midwest's productive heartland.
