2013 Map of Hopeville

About this map

Hopeville anchors this part of southern Iowa, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of the Thompson River. The settlement layout follows a traditional grid, bordered by streets like Eden St and Doyle St, while the surrounding rural township is partitioned by a network of numbered avenues such as 120th Ave and 140th Ave. This area sits at the intersection of local history and administrative geography, highlighted by the Clarke-Decatur St boundary line. The drainage pattern is particularly intricate here, with W Long Cr, E Long Cr, and Short Cr carving paths through the terrain before meeting the Long Cr system. The map provides a clear record of the rural road network, from named routes like Bobcat St and Clover St to the sectional farm lanes that have connected these agricultural lands for generations.
