About this map

The S Fork Iowa River meanders through this portion of Hardin County, anchoring a landscape defined by agricultural road grids and small rural settlements. Small communities like Buckeye, Racine, Ellis, and Cottage are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as local centers within the extensive network of numbered roads and county highways such as Co HWY-d25 and Co HWY-d41. The presence of Gehrkes Lake and the Twin Elms Access Area indicates preserved recreational pockets amidst the cultivated fields.

Transportation and infrastructure are central to the area's layout, highlighted by the Iowa Falls Municipal Airport in the northeast and the prominent path of Highway 20. Waterways including Beaver Cr and Tipton Cr provide natural drainage patterns that disrupt the rigid geometry of the section lines, illustrating the intersection of Iowa's natural hydrology with its highly organized rural development.
