2010 Map of Hiteman

About this map

Georgetown and Hiteman anchor this area of Monroe County, reflecting the deep coal mining and agricultural heritage of southern Iowa. The landscape is dotted with several family and community burial grounds, such as Bell Cemetery and Abegglen Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The legacy of the coal industry is evident in the presence of the Smoky Hollow Mine and Hiteman Mine Number 10, indicating the intensive extraction that once defined the local economy. Waterways like Cedar Creek and Bee Branch wind through the sectioned grid of rural roads, including Co Rd H35. Small settlements like Rexfield, Ward, and Halpin are situated along these transit corridors, while the Saint Patricks Cemetery and Georgetown Rest Area provide focal points along the southern highway. This map provides a clear record of the intersection between industrial mining sites and long-established rural town sites.
