2010 Map of Nevinville

About this map

Avondale and Nevinville anchor this rural section of Adair County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Middle Nodaway River and its southern tributaries like Kosar Branch and Shanghai Creek. The settlement pattern follows a strict grid of section roads, with small communities such as Fisk, Gilead, and Williamson serving as local landmarks. This area shows a high density of burial grounds for a rural township, including the Mormon Cemetery, Penn Avenue Cemetery, and Pleasant Grove Cemetery, which provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing early pioneer families and migratory paths through Iowa. Near the community of Fisk, the Larsen Landing Strip represents a modern layer of land use alongside traditional agriculture. The map also records the jurisdictional boundary along Adair-Adams St, marking the transition between counties in this agricultural heartland.
