2022 Map of Popejoy
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Popejoy and the surrounding rural townships of Franklin and Hardin counties are defined by the winding course of the Iowa River and its tributary, the S Fork Iowa River. This landscape reflects a long history of agrarian settlement, organized around a precise grid of county roads such as Co Hwy S13 and Co Hwy S21. Small clusters of community history are found at sites like Oakland and the riverside town of Alden, which sits at the southeastern corner of the survey. Genealogists will find several well-preserved burial grounds across the townships, including Otis Grove Cem in the northwest and Oak Hill Cem near the river center. The map documents a contemporary view of these established Iowa communities where the riparian corridors provide a natural break in the expansive agricultural sections.
