2013 Map of Hansell

About this map

W Fork Cedar River winds through the heart of this Franklin County landscape, shaping a drainage network that defines the local topography. In the early 21st century, the small incorporated communities of Hansell and Aredale anchor the region, situated along a grid of section-line roads that reflect the enduring agricultural character of the Iowa prairie. The map details the convergence of several waterways, including Boylan Cr in the northeast and Hartgrave Cr to the south, which are flanked by a dense network of county routes such as Co Hwy C33. The layout of streets in Hansell, including 1st St, and the corridor of W Arlington St in Aredale, provides a precise record of these rural settlements and their connection to the surrounding farmland.
