2018 Map of Nevinville

About this map

The Middle Nodaway River winds through this rural landscape on the border of Adair and Adams Counties, defining the drainage of a fertile agricultural region. Small rural centers and historically significant sites like Nevinville and Fisk anchor the area's social geography. This modern survey reflects the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System, while highlighting numerous burial sites that serve as vital touchstones for family historians. These include the Mormon Cem and Rose Hill Cem, which stand as landmarks of the early pioneers and later generations who settled these plains. The terrain is further etched by smaller watercourses such as Shanghai Cr and Kosar Br, which drain the uplands into the Nodaway basin. This documentation preserves the location of scattered settlements like Williamson and rural burying grounds like Union Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem amidst the modern road network.
