About this map

The town of Keota sits at the northern edge of this agricultural landscape, straddling the boundary where Keokuk and Washington counties meet. The rectilinear grid of the town, defined by routes like W Keokuk Ave and S Davis St, gives way to a sprawling network of rural section lines and creek drainages. To the south, the smaller settlement of Talleyrand serves as a secondary focal point for the surrounding farms.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites scattered across the countryside, including Saint Marys Cem, Keota Cem, and several family or community-named locations such as Tyrone Cem, Middleton Cem, and Valley Cem. The southern reach of the map is defined by the winding course of the Skunk River, while the upper sections are carved by W Fork Crooked Cr and Dutch Cr. The terrain is particularly varied around Hoot Owl Hollow, where the elevation shifts toward the river bottomlands.
