About this map

Hopkins serves as the central hub for this portion of the Taylor and Nodaway County borderlands. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the West Fork, Middle Fork, and East Fork of the One Hundred and Two River, which eventually join south of the town center. This hydrological network dictated the local topography and settlement patterns, leaving distinctive landmarks like The Mound rising above the river valleys.

Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds scattered across the rural township, including Williams Cemetery, Willard Cemetery, and Helm Cemetery. These sites, along with the larger Hopkins Cemetery, offer a record of the families who farmed this fertile border region. The map also detail various tributaries such as Beard Br, Slaughter Br, and Brushy Cr, as well as Blackford Lake near the western edge of the survey.
