2022 Map of Buckeye East

About this map

The S Fork Iowa River meanders across this Hardin County landscape, defining the rural character of the region south of Iowa Falls. The settlement of Buckeye anchors the western edge of the map, situated amidst a grid of section-line roads such as 200th St and Co Rd D41. This area preserves several localized burial grounds that serve as touchstones for family historians, including the Tipton Norwegian Lutheran Cem and Lincoln Cem. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are influenced by the drainage of Beaver Cr and the presence of the Iowa Falls Municipal Airport, while the south features the secluded Gehrkes Lake. The transition from the river valley to the upland prairies is marked by a network of farm-to-market roads and small, established cemeteries like Cottage Cem, reflecting generations of agricultural continuity in central Iowa.
