2018 Map of Kirkville

About this map

Eddyville and Kirkville anchor this southern Iowa landscape along the Des Moines River, where the terrain transitions from flat agricultural uplands into the dissected drainages of the Mahaska Co Wapello Co border. Small settlements like Wright and Cedar are interspersed among a dense grid of rural roads, including Co Hwy T67 and Wapello Mahaska Rd. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the townships, such as Westview Cem, Stump Cem, and the Funk Family Cem. The natural drainage of the region is defined by numerous tributaries, with Little Muchakinock Cr and Brown Cr cutting through the central sections. The map preserves the exact alignment of historical thoroughfares like Richland Rd and Columbia Rd, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by the Public Land Survey System.
