2015 Map of Nevada

About this map

Nevada, the county seat of Story County, dominates the southern half of this modern topographical study, showing the city's residential grid and central business district organized around W N Ave and Cherokee St. The map illustrates a landscape of carefully managed water and tradition, with W Indian Cr and East Indian Creek cutting through the prairie terrain. To the north, the small settlement of Fernald represents the area's enduring rural character. Genealogists will find this particular survey especially valuable for its precise locations of local burial grounds, including the large Evergreen Memory Gardens and Nevada Cem on the city's outskirts, as well as the Saint Patrick Catholic Cem and the more remote Knoll Cem further north. The township structure is clearly defined by the intersection of sections like t84n r23w and t84n r22w, reflecting the long-established Public Land Survey System layout of the Iowa heartland.
