2022 Map of Eddyville

About this map

The Des Moines River winds through this section of southern Iowa, serving as a natural boundary where Mahaska, Monroe, and Wapello counties converge. The settlement of Eddyville sits prominently along the eastern bank, showing a compact grid of streets such as Bridge St and Front St. This area is characterized by its numerous rural burial grounds, including Henness Cem, Muchakinock Cem, and Carpenter Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing early families in the region. North of the river, the small community of Givin is situated near the confluence of local drainages, while Bridgeport lies further south. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Muchakinock Cr and Bluff Cr, which cut through the terrain to feed the primary river valley, illustrating the historical reliance on these waterways for early settlement patterns.
