2014 Map of Parnell West

About this map

The Platte River meanders through this portion of Nodaway County, defining a landscape of agricultural drainage and small rural crossroads. The settlement of Gaynor sits in the north near the Long Branch Cemetery, while Orrsburg occupies a central position along the section lines. This 2014 survey documents a modern rural infrastructure defined by a grid of numbered roads like 200th St and Navy Rd, punctuated by family-named landmarks and water bodies. Genealogy researchers will find several well-preserved burial grounds including Wilcox Cemetery and McLaughlin Cemetery. To the east, the village of Parnell is shown at the edge of the quadrangle near the Nodaway-Worth Rd, while local topography is marked by notable rises such as Bunker Hill. The area's water management is evidenced by Wilson Lake and the Number 30 Dam on the upper reaches of the river system.
