2015 Map of Saint Charles NW

About this map

McBride Covered Bridge and Miller Bridge stand as prominent landmarks in this Iowa landscape, where the meandering course of the N Br North River and Badger Cr shape the terrain. The map reveals a dense network of country roads like Old Portland Rd and Quail Ridge Ave that connect a series of family and denominational burial grounds. These include the Blue Ridge Cem, German Lutheran Cem, and United Brethren Cem, providing essential touchstones for genealogical research in Madison and Warren counties. The distribution of these cemeteries, alongside the North McDonald Cem and Jefferson Cem, suggests a settled rural community deeply rooted in its local geography. Tributaries such as N River and N Elm Cr further define the drainage patterns of the region's agricultural heartland.
