2013 Map of Nevada

About this map

Nevada serves as a significant hub in this central Iowa landscape, positioned at the intersection of local industry and historic transit routes. The community layout is detailed through a dense grid of streets, including family-named ways like Sneed St, Nelson St, and Watson St, providing rich data for local history researchers. The legendary Lincoln Hwy bisects the area, illustrating the enduring importance of this early transcontinental route. To the north, the smaller settlement of Fernald marks a quieter rural outpost along Richland St. The terrain is defined by the wandering paths of W Indian Cr and E Indian Cr, which cut through the surrounding agricultural sections. This survey documents the transition between the established town core and the expansive gridded road network of the surrounding prairie, capturing the footprint of the county seat and its outlying neighbors.
