2010 Map of Killduff

About this map

Killduff and Galesburg anchor this rural landscape in Richland Township, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of local roads such as Sierra Ave and Hwy F62 E. The topography is shaped by the winding course of the South Skunk River in the southwest and the drainage of Elk Creek and Little Elk Creek to the north and east. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, including Hewitt Cemetery, Saint Andrews Cemetery, Dearinger Cemetery, and Kleins Cemetery. The presence of the Killduff Post Office marks the civic center of the small community of Killduff. The arrangement of farmsteads and cemeteries against the natural meandering of the river system illustrates the long-standing settlement patterns of this Iowa prairie region.
