About this map

Hanlontown serves as the primary hub of this Worth County landscape, situated where the northern Iowa prairie meets a dense network of creek systems. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Willow Cr and the larger Winnebago River near the southern boundary, which have shaped the agricultural grid of the region. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape deeply rooted in its local heritage, marked by numerous small burial sites and family legacies.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several community and private burial grounds, including the Elk Creek Number Two Cem, Elk Grove Cem, and the Grandview Cem. Smaller, more intimate locations like the Benjugerdes Family Plot and Trebilcock Family Plot indicate the enduring presence of early settler families. The map traces the modern transit corridors of Co Rd A38 and Co Hwy S38 as they navigate around the bends of Beaver Cr and Blair Cr.
