2015 Map of New Hartford

About this map

New Hartford sits at the western edge of this 2015 survey, situated near the confluence of Beaver Creek and the West Fork Cedar River. The landscape is a patchwork of agricultural sections across Butler, Black Hawk, and Grundy counties, organized around a rigid grid of gravel roads and state routes like Co Rd C67. Small, isolated pockets of community life are marked by numerous country burial grounds, including the Fairfield German M E Church Cem and the Rarick Cem near Benson. To the east, the terrain is shaped by the wandering path of the Cedar River, where landmarks such as Railroad Lake and Bluebird Airport appear. This map provides a clear view of modern rural Iowa, where local genealogy is tied to the scattered farmsteads and small family plots like the Gerholdt Cem found along these township lines.
