About this map

The South English River meanders across this Keokuk County landscape, defining the rural character of a region where agriculture and small-town centers converge. The small settlements of Keswick and Webster serve as local hubs, both maintaining their own postal facilities like the Keswick Post Office and Webster Post Office. To the south, Lake Yenruogis and the Sig-Nor Airport indicate more modern developments in the land use pattern, contrasting with the established network of grid-patterned roads such as 160th St and 200th Ave.

Genealogists will find this 2010 survey particularly valuable for its precise documentation of several rural burial grounds. Family names and community history are preserved in sites like Porter Cemetery, Sorden Cemetery, and Lutton Cemetery, while the presence of White Pigeon and its associated White Pigeon Cemetery recalls the heritage of smaller, outlying communities. The map provides a clear view of the water drainage system through Bridge Creek and German Creek, which continue to shape the local topography.
