About this map

Ellsworth serves as the central hub of this Hamilton County landscape, situated along a grid of section roads and the modern path of Interstate 35. The town's local services are anchored by the Ellsworth Post Office, while the surrounding agricultural landscape is defined by the winding course of the South Skunk River to the west and Long Dick Creek to the east.

Genealogists and local historians can locate two distinct burial grounds in the eastern half of the quadrangle: Lincoln Cemetery, situated near the edge of the survey area, and Greenwood Cemetery further south. The presence of Goose Lake on the western margin suggests the persistent wetlands that characterize this part of Iowa. This 2010 survey illustrates the intersection of historical township boundaries and the high-speed transportation corridors that replaced the original wagon roads.
