About this map

The town of Keota sits at the intersection of the Keokuk Co and Washington Co line in this 2015 survey, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. The street grid of the settlement is well-defined, including W Washington Ave and E Lafayette Ave. To the southwest, the smaller settlement of Talleyrand remains a distinct point of interest in the rural landscape.

Waterways like Dutch Cr and the Skunk River in the south define the local drainage patterns. Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional concentration of burial sites throughout the townships, including Saint Marys Cem, Shockley Cem, and White Oak Cem. These sites, along with others like Tyrone Cem and Middleton Cem, provide a clear map of the pioneer families who established these communities across the Keokuk and Washington county borderlands.
