  • Der 509 Meter hohe Hawkeye Point ist die höchste Erhebung des US-Bundesstaates Iowa. Die Erhebung befindet sich im Osceola County nahe der Grenze zu Minnesota.Das gesamte Areal rund um Hawkeye Point wird landwirtschaftlich genutzt, nicht zuletzt deshalb befindet sich auf seinem Gipfel ein Getreidesilo. Der höchste Punkt Iowas ist aber auch mit einem Markierungsstein und sogar einem Gipfelbuch ausgestattet.Der Hügel erhebt sich gerade einmal 20 Meter aus seinem Umland. (de)
  • Hawkeye Point is the highest natural point in Iowa at 1,670 feet (510 m). It is approximately 4.5 miles (7.2 km) north of Sibley on the eastern side of SR 60 and approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south of the Iowa-Minnesota state border. The high ground lies 100 feet (30 m) due south of an old silo. The land that includes the highpoint was donated by the Sterler family, who worked this land for many decades, to Osceola County with the stipulation that the land be turned into a park. Osceola County, through its Economic Development Commission and Hawkeye Point Committee, has removed a few structures that were deemed to be hazardous to public safety including the old hog feed bunker at the highpoint site and a few small barns. They have erected an informational kiosk which highlights the family and the county and features a display of license plates from the 50 states sent in over the years to the Sterlers. The county purchased approximately 6 acres (2.4 ha) of surrounding land including the old family farm house, which is being used as office space for the county. There are a flagpole, picnic bench, tile mosaic, several granite markers, and five tall posts with signs pointing to the other 49 state highpoints, each with the correct distance noted. The local 4-H group and high school youths contributed a great deal to this effort. The Hawkeye Point Commission also recently purchased a wooded plot of land of about 7 acres (28,000 m2) on the north side of the county road abutting the property with the intent to turn it into a campground. The Highpointers Foundation, a non-profit charity set up to benefit privately owned state highpoints, has provided much of the funding for the renovations at Hawkeye Point. * Granite Marker * Hawkeye Point is roughly at the site of the silo. * Silo with observation deck * Museum barn * Signposts listing distances to other state high points * State license plate display (en)

  • Гокай-пойнт — височина висотою 509 м н.р.м., яка є найвищою точкою в американському штаті Айова. Височина лежить в окрузі Оссеола, недалеко від кордону з Міннесотою. Вся територія навколо Гокай-пойнт використовується для сільського господарства, що є однією з причин, чому на вершині стоїть силосна вежа з зерном. Найвища точка штату Айова позначена маркером і навіть має реєстраційну книгу. Пагорб височіє всього лише на 20 метрів над його оточенням. (uk)
