About this map

Owasa sits as a central hub in this Hardin County landscape, where the agricultural grid is interrupted by the meandering course of the Iowa River. The river valley creates a distinct break in the township sections, particularly near Eagle City, where the terrain drops into more complex drainage systems involving Beaver Cr and Otter Cr. This 2018 survey reveals a territory marked by numerous community burial sites, suggesting a deep-rooted lineage of local family farms and early townships.

Researchers will find a high density of rural cemeteries including Jackson Township Cem, Hardin City Cem, and the Hardin County Home Cem. Infrastructure such as the Hardin City Bridge and an extensive network of county roads like Co RD d35 connect the outlying farmsteads to the primary settlements. The map effectively captures the 21st-century state of these Iowa townships, balancing modern highway designations with the enduring boundaries of the Public Land Survey System.
