2018 Map of Rudd

About this map

Nora Springs and the village of Rudd anchor this Floyd County landscape, situated along a network of agricultural roads and waterways just south of the Mitchell County line. The terrain is defined by the meandering courses of the Shell Rock River, Rock Creek, and Flood Creek, which carve through the Iowa prairie. This area is particularly dense with pioneer-era markers, including the Rock Creek Evangelical Lutheran Cem and several family-named or location-specific burial grounds like the Oscar Peterson Cem, West End Cem, and Eden Cem. The layout of rural roads, such as Dancer Ave and Echo Ave, follows the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, while the southern portion of the map traces the residential streets and community landmarks of Nora Springs, including Park Cem and E Congress St.
