2010 Map of Kirkville

About this map

Kirkville and Cedar anchor this rural landscape in the Des Moines River valley, where the town plats are defined by their respective local mail hubs at the Kirkville Post Office and Cedar Post Office. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems, including Cedar Creek, Lost Creek, and Little Muchakinock Creek, which together shape the agricultural grid of northern Mahaska and Wapello counties. For those tracing local families, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, preserving the locations of the Funk Family Cemetery, Wilcox Cemetery, and Stump Cemetery. The southern edge of the survey captures a wide bend of the Des Moines River, showing the relationship between the river's floodplain and the upland settlements connected by historical routes like Kirkville Rd and Columbia Rd.
