About this map

Hanlontown sits at the western edge of this agricultural landscape in Worth County, where the grid of rural roads meets the winding path of the Winnebago River. The area is characterized by its drainage network, including Wharum Cr, Willow Cr, and Spring Cr, which cut through the gently undulating fields. This survey is particularly notable for its documentation of numerous small burial sites, ranging from larger community grounds like Grandview Cem and Elk Creek Number Two Cem to private, lineage-specific locations such as the Benjegerdes Family Plot and Trebilcock Family Plot. These family-named landmarks provide a clear look at the early settlement patterns and genealogical history of the township, while the Interstate 35 corridor through the western sections marks the modern transportation infrastructure that connects this northern Iowa region to the broader Midwest.
