About this map

Kanawha serves as the primary settlement on this agricultural landscape, where the town layout is defined by streets such as W 5th St and E 6th St. The area's heritage is preserved at the New Amsterdam Township Cem and the Old Amsterdam Cem, offering specific points of interest for genealogical research in Hancock County.

The hydrology of the region is characterized by the branching waters of the Boone River, including the E Br Boone River and Middle Br Boone River. Extensive drainage works are evident through features like Drainage Ditch Number 107, illustrating the transformation of the Iowa prairie into productive farmland. To the west, the small locale of Denhart sits along the section lines, while several branches of Otter Creek, including W Otter Cr and Otter Cr, wind through the eastern townships.
