About this map

The Iowa River meanders southward through the heart of Hardin County, anchoring a landscape defined by small river-town settlements and agricultural tradition. The city of Eldora serves as the primary hub, where the Hardin County Fairgrounds and the Greenbelt Speedway highlight the community's local heritage and entertainment roots. To the north, Upper Pine Lake marks a transition into more recreational terrain, while the broader county grid is punctuated by the smaller hamlets of Xenia, Gifford, and Whitten.

Transportation corridors like Highway 175 and several county highways, including Co HWY-s56, link these communities across a terrain drained by numerous tributaries like S Fork Iowa River, Bear Cr, and Cedar Cr. This survey provides a modern view of the infrastructure supporting these historic settlements, from the local runways at Eldora Municipal Airport to the established street grids that have served this portion of the Iowa heartland for generations.
