2018 Map of Hiteman

About this map

Georgetown and Hiteman anchor this section of Monroe County, showing a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a dense network of local cemeteries. The terrain is deeply dissected by the drainages of Cedar Cr and Whites Cr, creating a topography where roads like Co Rd H32 and Co Rd H35 must wind through the valleys and ridges. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its density of burial sites, including Saint Patricks Cem, Abegglen Cem, and Rowley Cem. The concentration of these smaller communities, such as Consol, Rexfield, and Ward, suggests a historical reliance on the localized resources of the Iowa countryside. The transition between these small hubs is marked by a grid of secondary roads and trails, illustrating the persistent land divisions of the Public Land Survey System even in this more modern era.
