2018 Map of Hedrick

About this map

Hedrick serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape along the Keokuk Co Wapello Co border. The town is defined by a traditional street grid including Main St and W 6th St, while the surrounding countryside is marked by a dense network of family-named burial grounds. Genealogists and local historians can trace the distribution of early settlement families through sites like Akerman Cem, Abel Cem, Slagle Cem, and Hook Cem, which are scattered throughout the rural sections. To the north, the South Skunk River meanders across the territory, joined by numerous tributaries such as Sugar Cr and Steady Run. The transition between townships, such as t74n r13w and t73n r12w, reflects the enduring Public Land Survey System that shaped the rectangular road and farm patterns of this Iowa prairie region.
