2013 Map of Kirkville

About this map

Kirkville stands as the primary settlement in this portion of Mahaska and Wapello counties, situated near the southern edge of the survey. The town's grid is oriented toward the winding course of the Des Moines River, which cuts through the southwest corner of the map. Northward, the landscape is defined by agricultural section lines and an extensive drainage network, where Cedar Cr and Brown Cr meander through the prairie. Smaller hamlets like Cedar and Wright are found along the northern and eastern reaches, connected by a network of rural roads such as Rutledge Ave and 285th St. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the region, where modern highway routes like 63 and 23 intersect the older township road system, highlighting the transition between established riverside communities and the surrounding farmland.
