2013 Map of Keota

About this map

Keota serves as the primary hub of this eastern Keokuk County landscape, defined by a rigid section-line grid of rural roads and fertile Iowa farmland. The settlement of Talleyrand sits further south, positioned along the central corridor of Keokuk-Washington Rd. The geography is shaped by the drainage patterns of several winding waterways, including the Skunk River in the southwest corner and the meandering Dutch Cr which cuts diagonally across the township. Further north, the W Fork Crooked Cr and Clear Cr provide additional natural boundaries. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural character of the region, where small named communities like Valley persist as local reference points amidst the sprawling network of gravel roads and tributary streams that have defined the county's layout for generations.
