About this map

Saint Ansgar sits at the northern edge of this Mitchell County landscape, where the Cedar River carves a winding path south toward Mitchell. The survey illustrates a well-developed agricultural grid defined by corridors such as Cameo Ave and Dancer Ave, connecting scattered farmsteads across the townships of T99N R18W and T98N R18W. Genealogists will find significant value in the location of several rural burial grounds, including Blakestad Cem, Immanuel Cem, and Saint Johns Cem. Along the riverbanks, River View Cem overlooks the water, while the confluence of Rock Creek and smaller tributaries like Willow Cr highlights the natural drainage patterns of the Iowa plains. The inclusion of Red Ball Rd provides a look at a local thoroughfare that breaks from the rigid section-line road network common to the region.
