2010 Map of Derby

About this map

Derby serves as the central hub of this rural southern Iowa landscape, where a dense network of local roads and sections meets the winding path of the Chariton River. The town is well-documented for local historians, featuring the Derby Post Office and Derby Cemetery just outside the main residential blocks. The surrounding countryside is notable for its numerous family and community burial grounds, which offer a high level of detail for genealogical research. These include Gay Cemetery in the north, Goshen Cemetery and Webb Cemetery near the river, and Murray Cemetery further south. Waterways like Hamilton Creek, Fivemile Creek, Honey Creek, and Wolf Creek carve through the agricultural parcels, defining the drainage patterns of the region. The road network is clearly labeled with names such as Watrous Ave, Front St, and Co Rd H50, providing a precise reference for the early 21st-century infrastructure of this Lucas County township.
