2015 Map of Hawkeye

About this map

Hawkeye serves as the central hub for this portion of Fayette County, situated at the intersection of a grid-based rural road network. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Branch Volga River, which drains the agricultural terrain alongside tributaries like Turner Cr and Coulee Cr. Evidence of the area's long-established community structure is found in its numerous small burial grounds, including the Oak Lawn Cem and the Fayette County Farm Cem, the latter hinting at the location of a former local social welfare institution. To the southeast, the small settlement of Donnan marks another point of habitation. The map illustrates a mature mid-western farming region where the geometry of township lines, such as t94n r9w, dictates the placement of farmsteads and county routes like Co HWY w14.
