2022 Map of Nichols
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
The Cedar River floodplain dominates this portion of Muscatine County, where complex wetlands and backwaters define the eastern landscape. The town of Nichols sits at the junction of several drainage systems, including Hockeys Slough and Wapsinonoc Creek. This survey reveals a high density of small rural burial grounds, such as Watkins Cem, Wesson Cem, and Lone Tree Cem, which provide specific geographic anchors for local genealogical research. To the south, the settlement of Conesville is linked by the Hoover Nature Trl, following a former transport corridor through the river valley. The map details the rural road network at the intersection of Johnson, Muscatine, and Louisa counties, illustrating how modern parcels still align with the township and range lines of the original land surveys.
