About this map

The Des Moines River winds through this 2015 survey, serving as a natural boundary where Mahaska, Monroe, and Wapello Counties converge. The settlement of Eddyville sits on the river's eastern bank, showing a structured grid of streets including Walnut ST and Main ST. Further north along the water, the smaller community of Bridgeport and the locality of Givin reflect the area's rural character and long-standing agricultural roots.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial sites scattered across the landscape, such as Muchakinock Cem, Crane Cem, and Henness Cem. The complex drainage patterns of Muchakinock Cr, Lost Cr, and Drainage Ditch Number 2 define the lowlands, while the bluffs of Bluff Creek and Little Bluff Cr rise above the river valley. The map details a transition from the structured residential areas of the river towns to the expansive rural road network of the surrounding Iowa countryside.
