About this map

Nevinville and the surrounding rural townships of Adair and Adams counties are defined by a network of sectional roads and small cemeteries that reflect generations of Iowa farming history. The Middle Nodaway River winds through the northwest, while smaller waterways like Shanghai Cr and Kosar Br drain the rolling agricultural landscape. Small crossroads settlements like Fisk and Williamson serve as focal points for a community structured around the land.

Genealogists will find this map particularly useful for locating numerous scattered burial grounds, including the Mormon Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Rose Hill Cem. These sites, along with others like the Penn Avenue Cem and Union Cem, provide specific points of interest for family history research. The boundary line of Adair Co Adams Co runs directly through this area, with landmarks like Avondale Cem situated near the intersection of these two rural jurisdictions.
