About this map

Lawn Hill and New Providence anchor this Hardin County landscape, situated amid a network of township roads and agricultural sections. The drainage patterns of the S Fork Iowa River and the South Fork Iowa River cut through the terrain, while prominent rises like Rough Woods Hill break the horizon. This survey provides significant data for genealogists, as the township is dotted with burial grounds such as Highland Cem, New Providence Cem, and the uniquely named Hadley Hamans Horn Cem.

The presence of the Eldora Training School Cem near the town of Eldora hints at the institutional history of the area. Small rural communities like Lawn Hill appear as modest clusters, while the surrounding countryside is defined by tributaries such as Honey Cr and Tipton Cr. The map preserves the placement of localized landmarks like the Pleasant Chapel Community Cem and Point Pleasant Cem, which served the disparate farmsteads and rural families of the early 21st century.
