About this map

The Mississippi River and Des Moines River converge at the foot of Keokuk, where the borders of Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois meet. This 2015 survey reveals the modern landscape of this tri-state hub, dominated by the urban grid of Keokuk and the expansive Southeastern Community College Keokuk Campus. Significant family and local history markers are found in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the bluffs, such as the Oiler Family Cemetery and the ancient Baena Vista Mound Cemetery near the riverbanks.

Away from the city center, the terrain is shaped by several drainages including Sugar Creek and Prices Creek. Smaller settlements like Summitville, Sandusky, and Mooar anchor the surrounding rural areas. The map details the transition from the industrial and residential corridors of the city to the alluvial plains of Mud Island and the neighboring communities of Warsaw and Hamilton, providing a clear look at the region's contemporary infrastructure and geographic boundaries.
