2015 Map of Massena

About this map

Massena and Cumberland anchor this rural landscape in Cass County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and named branches. The terrain is carved by Sevenmile Cr and various tributaries including Jim Br, Lone Tree Br, and Pettitts Br, which create the undulating agricultural patterns characteristic of western Iowa. For family historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites and rural centers, from the Norway Center settlement in the northwest to the Saint Patricks Cem and Massena Cem on the outskirts of the primary towns.
