2010 Map of Radcliffe

About this map

Radcliffe serves as the primary hub of this Hardin County landscape, where the town's residential grid and the Radcliffe Post Office stand as a cluster of development amidst a strictly ordered agricultural grid. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by the distribution of several family and local burial grounds including Bethany Cemetery, Lincoln Cemetery, and Rorem Cemetery. The terrain is defined by the gentle drainage patterns of Honey Creek, Minerva Creek, and Bear Creek, which cut across the rectilinear road network of numbered streets and lettered avenues. Small-scale local infrastructure is visible in the presence of Drake Airport and Friendly Fairways just east of the main town site. Further northeast, the small settlement of Sherman sits at a crossroads, illustrating the persistence of outlying hamlets in the Iowa heartland during the early 21st century.
