2018 Map of Massena

About this map

The town of Massena anchors the southeastern corner of this Cass County landscape, where the local road network follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The area is defined by a dense drainage network of agricultural creeks, including the winding course of Sevenmile Cr and several local branches such as Whislers Br, Pettitts Br, and Hoyts Br. This 2018 survey reveals a rural landscape deeply connected to its community heritage, preserved in a high concentration of local cemeteries. From the Norway Center Cem and Lincoln Center Cem in the north to Saint Patricks Cem near the town site, these landmarks provide essential anchors for genealogical research. The map also identifies the crossroads of Norway Center, reflecting the historical settlement patterns of the township before modern consolidation.
