2022 Map of Hubbard

About this map

The town of Hubbard serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Hardin County, Iowa. The rectilinear grid of the township system is clearly defined by numerous county roads and street alignments such as 270th St and Hubbard Trail. This survey illustrates a highly developed rural drainage network essential for prairie farming, featuring Drainage Ditch Number 55 and Drainage Ditch Number 110 alongside natural watercourses like Honey Creek and Cardinal Creek. For genealogists, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including the Idaho Cemetery to the south and the Sherman Cemetery near the small settlement of Sherman in the northwest. The presence of the South Fork Iowa River in the northeastern corner provides a contrast to the engineered drainage systems found elsewhere in the quadrangle.
