About this map

The North English River and its various forks define the rural character of this Poweshiek County landscape. At the intersection of Diamond Trail Rd and 215th St, the community of Deep River serves as the primary local hub, anchored by the Deep River Post Office. The township layout is heavily dictated by the local drainage basin, with the Middle English River, Jordan Creek, and Gritter Creek cutting through the grid of section roads.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including the German Methodist Episcopal Cemetery and Saint Johns Cemetery in the northeast. Smaller settlement points like Dresden and Tilton mark historical crossroads, with the former accompanied by its own Dresden Cemetery. The dominance of the section line road system illustrates the late-twentieth-century agricultural continuity of the region.
