2022 Map of Eagle Center

About this map

The unincorporated community of Eagle Center serves as the focal point for this agrarian landscape in southern Black Hawk County. The township geometry is defined by a grid of county roads such as Kimball Ave and Hawkeye Rd, which cross rolling terrain drained by Miller Cr and Mud Cr. A high concentration of rural burial grounds, including the Saint Mary of Mount Carmel Cem, Eagle Cem, and Spencer Cem, suggests a long-settled community with deep genealogical roots in the surrounding prairie. Near the center of the sheet, the presence of Nichols Airport provides a distinct modern aviation landmark amidst the traditional farmsteads. To the south, the terrain descends toward the valley of Wolf Creek as the map crosses the boundary into Tama County.
