2015 Map of Prescott

About this map

Prescott serves as the central settlement of this southwest Iowa region, situated near the confluence of the E Nodaway River and Mount Zion Br. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the Nodaway watershed, featuring numerous small tributaries such as Shanghai Cr, Kosar Br, and Cipra Br. These waterways cut through the agricultural terrain, influencing the layout of the section-line road network. A high density of rural burial sites provides significant value for local genealogy, including Old Evergreen Cem, Evergreen Cem, and the Bohemian National Cem. The map further documents the rural infrastructure through named thoroughfares like Co Rd H24 and Co Rd H33, alongside the eastern edge of the W Platte River basin. The arrangement of these cemeteries and watercourses reflects a long-established rural community structured around the river forks and homestead boundaries.
