2018 Map of Killduff

About this map

Killduff and Galesburg anchor this rural Jasper County landscape, situated amidst a dense network of sectional roads and creek valleys. The terrain is defined by the drainage of the South Skunk River, which cuts across the southwest corner, and the meandering paths of Elk Cr and Little Elk Cr. These waterways influenced early settlement patterns and the placement of the area's rural burial grounds. Genealogists and local historians can locate several historic resting places, including Hewitt Cem and Saint Andrews Cem near the center of the sheet, as well as Dearinger Cem further south. The map reflects a classic Iowa agricultural grid, where roads like S 84th Ave E and Hwy T14 S connect small communities and farmsteads across the undulating prairie.
