About this map

Ellsworth and its neighboring community of Jewell anchor this Hamilton County landscape, where the agricultural grid is intersected by the winding course of the South Skunk River. The transition between the traditional town centers and modern infrastructure is visible through features like Industrial Park Rd and the proximity of the older Jewell Junction site. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Homewood Cem, Lincoln Cem, and Greenwood Cem.

Water management and natural drainage play a significant role in the local geography, from the remnant basin of Goose Lake to the engineered Ditch Number 71. Smaller tributaries like Long Dick Cr feed into the river system, defining the low-lying areas between the surveyed sections. The map provides a detailed view of the rural road network, characterized by routes like Co Rd R61 and Tollman Ave, which link the scattered farmsteads and cemeteries to the regional hubs of Ellsworth and Jewell.
