2010 Map of Kinross

About this map

Kinross and the smaller settlement of Nira sit within a landscape defined by the branching waterways of Keokuk County. This Iowa interior is drained by the English River and South English River in the north, while the West Fork Crooked Creek meanders through the southern sections. The map reveals a strictly gridded agricultural community where local history is anchored by the Kinross Post Office and several burial grounds, including Fairview Cemetery and Bucker Hill Cemetery. The Keokuk-Washington Rd serves as a primary north-south artery, following the county line and connecting these rural outposts. The network of numbered streets and named avenues like Cedar Ave and Birch Ave underscores a settled, late-twentieth-century rural infrastructure where water bodies like Smith Creek provide the only deviation from the geometric road survey.
