About this map

Hawkeye and the small settlement of Donnan anchor this detailed 2018 survey of rural Fayette County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Volga River, including the North Branch Volga River and N Br Volga River, which carve subtle drainage patterns through the agricultural grid. Local heritage is particularly evident in the high density of small burial grounds, such as Oak Lawn Cem, Windsor Cem, and the Pitts Cem, each marking early family or community clusters.

A significant site for genealogists is the Fayette County Farm Cem, which stands as a quiet marker of the county's social history. The road network remains largely a grid of numbered streets and named routes like Spruce RD and Quarry RD, reflecting the persistent rural structure of this Iowa township. Further south, Coulee Cr and Turner Cr provide additional topographical detail to the eastern sections of the map.
