About this map

The Iowa River carves a winding path through the center of this Hardin County landscape, dictating the placement of settlements and roads across the terrain. Eldora serves as the primary hub, where a dense grid of streets like Edgington Ave and River Ave meets the water. To the south, smaller communities such as Gifford, Whitten, and Union follow the river valley and the undulating topography of the surrounding agricultural land.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, including Ellsworth Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Eldora Cem near the town center. Rural outposts like Xenia Cem and Francisco Cem are scattered across the township lines of t87n r19w and t86n r19w. The land is further defined by its drainage network, with Pine Creek, Cedar Cr, and Bear Cr feeding into the main river system.
