2010 Map of Hatfield

About this map

Hatfield serves as the primary settlement in this rural landscape straddling the Missouri-Iowa border, where a network of gravel roads connects small communities and family burial grounds. The agricultural character of Harrison County is evident in the scattered locations of Thomas, Watterson, and Ringgold, which persist as focal points in a region defined by its watercourses. The drainage system is dominated by the East Fork Grand River and Lotts Creek, creating a varied topography of creek bottoms and upland farms. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several commemorative sites, including Lincoln Center Cemetery, Oakdale Cemetery, and Petry Cemetery. Human modifications to the hydrology are marked by Cottrel Lake Dam and Marie Lake, illustrating how the mid-century inhabitants managed the area's natural water resources for local use.
