About this map

North Skunk River and South Skunk River converge in this section of Keokuk County, creating a landscape defined by alluvial drainage and traditional Iowan agricultural grids. The town of Delta serves as the primary hub, where local routes like Co Hwy V33 and N Old Hwy intersect. A significant local landmark, the Delta Covered Bridge, spans the river south of the main settlement, preserved as a piece of nineteenth-century engineering in a modern landscape.

Genealogists can find several established burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Bethel Cem to the south and Springfield Cem to the northwest. These sites, along with Garrett Cem and Kensler Cem, anchor the history of the surrounding rural farmsteads. Smaller watercourses such as Cedar Cr, Coal Cr, and Rock Cr meander through the northern reaches, breaking the geometric pattern of the section lines.
