2010 Map of Shenandoah East

About this map

Shenandoah and Essex anchor this agricultural landscape in Page County, where the grid of rural roads is interrupted by the meandering course of the East Nishnabotna River. The settlement pattern reflects a stable farming community with essential services clustered in the towns, including the Shenandoah Post Office and the Essex Post Office. Outside the residential centers, the land is divided by a series of named watercourses such as Fourmile Creek and Rocky Branch, which carve through the Iowa plains. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of local burial sites, including the Saint John Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery, Hadden Cemetery, and Rose Hill Cemetery. The layout of the road network, with arteries like D Ave and 150 St, shows the connectivity between these small agrarian hubs and the surrounding countryside during the early 21st century.
