About this map

Eagle City and Owasa anchor this rural landscape in north-central Iowa, where the winding path of the Iowa River cuts through a grid of agricultural section lines. The settlement patterns here are defined by small clusters like Berlin and the crossroads at Hughs, connected by a network of county roads including Co Rd D35 and Co Rd S45. The map reveals a dense concentration of local burial grounds that offer significant value for genealogical research, ranging from the Hardin City Cemetery and Hardin County Home Cemetery in the south to the North Lawn Memory Gardens Cemetery and Jackson Heights Cemetery near the northern border.

Waterways like Beaver Creek and Little Beaver Creek thread through the township, while the Hardin City Bridge provides a specific point of reference for historical river crossings. Recreational and conservation land is visible at the Eagle City Access Area and Cross Ford Access Area, highlighting the intersection of the river valley's natural topography with the surrounding prairie-turned-farmland.
