2010 Map of Buckeye East

About this map

Cottage and the surrounding Hardin County farmland are defined by the winding course of the South Fork Iowa River as it cuts through the agricultural grid. This 2010 survey reflects a rural landscape where small settlements like Racine, Ellis, and Buckeye serve as anchors for the local community. The distribution of historic burial sites, including Cottage Cemetery, Lincoln Cemetery, and the Tipton Norwegian Cemetery, provides significant genealogical value, tracing the settlement patterns of early families in the region. To the northeast, the Iowa Falls Municipal Airport marks a modern utility contrast to the surrounding natural drainage of Beaver Creek and Tipton Creek. The map documents the enduring intersection of Iowa's river systems with the persistent rectilinear road network of the prairie.
