2021 Map of Keithsburg

About this map

The Mississippi River forms a complex maze of chutes and islands along the border of Illinois and Iowa, creating a dynamic riparian landscape near Keithsburg. This river town is defined by its grid of streets such as Main St and Washington St, anchored by Saint Mary's Ch and the Keithsburg Cem on its eastern edge. Across the main channel, the Iowa side in Louisa Co and Des Moines Co is dominated by intricate waterways like Ziegler Slough and Iowa Slough, alongside prominent landmasses including Blackhawk Island and Mapes Island. To the south, the terrain rises toward Bald Bluff, overlooking a mosaic of smaller islands like Charlie Island and Johnson Island. The distribution of rural cemeteries such as Smith Cem and Huron Island Cem provides specific points of interest for those tracing local lineages in this river-valley environment.
