2022 Map of Hiteman

About this map

Hiteman and its surrounding townships in Monroe County are defined by a network of rural settlements and family-named cemeteries. This modern survey illustrates the persistent layout of these historical communities, showing how Georgetown and Ward remain anchored to the landscape by the drainage basins of Cedar Cr and Whippoorwill Cr. The distribution of burial grounds such as Saint Patricks Cem, Abegglen Cem, and Bell Cem provides essential spatial data for genealogists tracing local families across these rolling sections. The terrain is marked by distinct valleys where Whites Cr and Bee Br have shaped the placement of early roads like Co RD h32 and Co RD t19, reflecting a pattern of settlement that follows the natural contours of the Iowa countryside.
