About this map

New Providence and the surrounding Hardin County agricultural landscape are defined by the winding course of the South Fork Iowa River and its numerous tributaries. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain shaped by the S Fork Iowa River and the South Fork Iowa River, which carve through the Iowa prairie. The map is particularly dense with sites of interest for genealogists, featuring an unusually high concentration of rural burial grounds such as Hadley Hamans Horn Cem and the Eldora Training School Cem near the town of Eldora.

Smaller settlements like Lawn Hill sit along the rectilinear grid of county roads, including Co RD d55, while the topography rises at Rough Woods Hill. Waterways like Honey Cr, Tipton Cr, and Little Beaver Cr vein the countryside, marking the drainage patterns of this fertile region. The presence of the Pleasant Chapel Community Cem and Highland Cem reflects the long-standing community centers that have anchored these townships for generations.
