1982 Map of Derby
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Derby serves as the central hub of this 1982 survey, situated amidst the rolling agricultural lands of southern Iowa. The landscape is deeply carved by the Chariton River and its tributaries, including Hamilton Creek and Fivemile Creek, which dictate the local topography and drainage patterns. For local historians and genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed with family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, such as Webb Cem, Murray Cem, and Woods Cem, alongside the small country Eden Ch. A notable recreational and environmental feature is the presence of Stephens State Forest in the northern sections, while The Cinder Path follows an old railroad alignment through the region, marking the transition from industrial transport to modern conservation and trail use.
