About this map

Nichols serves as a central hub on this 2013 landscape, where State Highway 22 and Highway 70 intersect. The town's grid is oriented near the seasonal waters of Hockeys Slough and the winding Wapsinonoc Cr. To the south, the settlement of Conesville sits just above the Muscatine-Louisa Co Line, while the small community of Cranston is positioned to the east.

The hydrology of the region is defined by the broad meanders of the Cedar River, which is flanked by intricate wetlands and secondary channels like Crane Cr and Pike Cr. The Presence of Cone Lake and the McKeown Bridge River Access highlights the river's role in local recreation and drainage. This survey documents the modern road network, including family-named routes such as Bancroft Ave and Davis Ave, overlaying a land defined by its river-bottom geography.
