2022 Map of De Witt

About this map

Dewitt serves as the central hub for this portion of eastern Iowa, situated near the winding course of the Wapsipinicon River. The landscape is defined by its agricultural grid and a network of waterways, including Silver Cr and Crystal Cr, which feed toward the river valley to the south. Genealogists and local researchers will find several well-documented burial sites across the township lines, notably Elmwood Cem, Saint Joseph Cem, and the more isolated Smith Cem to the southwest. The terrain transitions from the developed streets of the town center to the wetlands and riparian zones of the river bottomlands at the Clinton Co and Scott Co border. Small water bodies like Crystal Lake and numerous named creeks such as Ames Cr and McDonald Cr further detail the local drainage patterns and rural character of the area.
