2015 Map of Hedrick

About this map

Hedrick serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in southeastern Iowa, where the grid of rural roads meets at the intersection of Main St and Lake St. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the South Skunk River in the north and the deep incisions of Steady Run and Sugar Cr. This area represents a well-preserved section of the Keokuk and Wapello county border, with the line running directly through rural homesteads along Wapello Keokuk Rd. For those tracing local heritage, the map is notably dense with small family or community burial grounds. From the Akerman Cem and Abel Cem in the northwest to the Deuser Cem near the eastern boundary, these landmarks provide specific points of reference for genealogical research. The small settlements of Martinsburg and Highland Center anchor the outlying corners of the quadrangle, connected by an extensive network of secondary routes like Co Rd V5H.
