2015 Map of Nashua

About this map

Cedar River and Little Cedar River converge near the heart of this North Central Iowa landscape, framing the city of Nashua and the adjacent settlement of Bradford. The geography is defined by these waterways, with Cedar Lake created by the impoundment of the river within the town limits. This 2015 survey reveals a dense concentration of historical burial sites that serve as primary markers for local genealogy, including Saint Michaels Cem, Oak Hill Cem, and Greenwood Cem situated near the town core. Further afield, smaller rural cemeteries like Jackson Cem and Pearl Rock Catholic Cem dot the section lines. The map documents the persistent agricultural grid of Chickasaw and Floyd counties, where the transit network transitions from modern highways to named local routes like Old Highway Rd and Badger Ave, maintaining the traditional township and range divisions established during the state's early development.
