2010 Map of New Providence

About this map

New Providence serves as the primary hub of this Hardin County agricultural landscape, situated at the junction of Co Rd D55 and Plum Rd. The township is defined by a dense network of family and community landmarks, particularly evident in the high concentration of burial grounds such as Hadley Cemetery, Highland Cemetery, and the Honey Creek Cemetery to the south. The drainage patterns of the South Fork Iowa River and its tributaries, including Tipton Creek and Honey Creek, dictate the placement of early settlements like Lawn Hill and Point Pleasant. A unique institutional footprint is noted in the northeast corner near Beaver Creek, where the Eldora Training School Cemetery is located. The map illustrates a strictly maintained section-line road grid that integrates these small hamlets with the surrounding prairie-turned-farmland.
