About this map

Eldora serves as the focal point of this Hardin County landscape, situated where the Iowa River begins its winding course southward toward Gifford and Whitten. The river's path is characterized by a wide floodplain, particularly evident near the South Fork Iowa River confluence. North of the city, the Upper Pine Lake Dam creates Pine Lake, a distinctive water body that stands in contrast to the surrounding agricultural grid. This survey provides a meticulous record of local interment sites, tracing family and community history through a high density of rural burial grounds.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks including Eldora Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and the Ellsworth Cemetery grouped near the city center. Farther afield, the map identifies isolated sites such as Buckner Cemetery, Francisco Cemetery, and Sheppard Cemetery. The transit infrastructure is anchored by the Eldora Municipal Airport and a network of county roads including Co RD s62 and Co RD d55, which connect the dispersed settlements of Xenia and the surrounding farmsteads.
