About this map

Hubbard stands as the primary trade center in this portion of Hardin County, situated at the intersection of local township lines and the Chicago and North Western railroad. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Tipton Creek and Honey Creek, which cut across the agricultural sections of Tipton and Sherman townships.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the preservation of several rural burial grounds, including Sherman Cem in the north and the isolated Idaho Cem to the south. The presence of the Sewage Disposal Ponds and a local Golf Course near the town center reflects the mid-century infrastructure and community development that shaped the town during the 1970s. The map captures a moment when the rail line still served as a vital spine for the local farming economy.
