2015 Map of Mechanicsville

About this map

Mechanicsville anchors this eastern Iowa landscape at the convergence of several Cedar and Jones County townships. The town's grid is established south of the Rose Hill Cem, with the surrounding countryside divided into the traditional square-mile sections of the Public Land Survey System. This agricultural regularity is interrupted only by the winding paths of several waterways, including S Fork Walnut Cr in the north and W Rock Cr in the southeast. Numerous small family or community burial sites such as Andre Cem, White Oak Cem, and the Piper- Kohl Cem are scattered across the township lines, offering a preserved record of the area's rural heritage. The network of secondary roads, such as Co Hwy X4F and Co Rd X4F, connects these disparate farmsteads and points of interest to the central settlement.
