2013 Map of Delta

About this map

The Delta Covered Bridge spans the waters of the N Skunk River south of the town of Delta, serving as a primary landmark in this rural Keokuk County landscape. The map illustrates a classic Iowa grid of gravel and paved roads, including N Old Hwy 21, which connects the small settlements of Springfield in the northwest to Divide in the south. The drainage patterns of the region are defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Cedar Cr and Coal Cr, which feed into the larger river systems. In the northeastern corner, the crossroads of Hopewell sits near the winding path of Rock Cr. This survey provides a precise view of the early 21st-century rural infrastructure, showing the residential street grid of Delta from N 2nd St down to S 2nd St.
