2010 Map of Delta

About this map

The North Skunk River meanders across this rural landscape, joined by its southern counterpart and numerous smaller tributaries like Cedar Creek and Coal Creek. The settlement of Delta serves as the local hub, marked by the Delta Post Office and the notable Delta Covered Bridge spanning the river to the south. This area of Keokuk County is defined by its deep agricultural roots and a grid of secondary roads that connect outlying communities like Springfield, Hayesville, and Divide. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are clearly documented, including Springfield Cemetery, Garrett Cemetery, Kensler Cemetery, and Bethel Cemetery. The topography reveals the intricate drainage patterns that have shaped farming and settlement in this portion of southeast Iowa for generations.
