2018 Map of Hanover

About this map

The Upper Iowa River winds through the northern reaches of this landscape, cutting through the driftless area of northeastern Iowa. Near the crossing at Hansens Ford Bridge, the river is joined by Patterson Cr and Mineral Cr, creating a complex drainage system that has long dictated the layout of local roads like Lundy Bridge Rd and Iverson Bridge Rd. The small settlement of Hanover serves as a focal point in the northeast, while the surrounding hillsides are dotted with legacy sites critical for genealogical research, including Saint Patricks Cem and the Eells Plot. This terrain, transitioning between the Winneshiek Co and Allamakee Co border, is characterized by deep hollows like Skaim Hollow Dr and high ridges such as Oneill Ridge Rd, illustrating the rugged agricultural and timbered character of the region.
