2010 Map of Letts

About this map

Letts and Grandview serve as the primary residential hubs in this section of Muscatine County, where the landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Mississippi River floodplain. The low-lying eastern terrain is marked by Muscatine Slough, which winds past Klum Lake and Keokuk Lake, indicating a landscape shaped by historical river movements. These wet lowlands contrast with the higher agricultural ground to the west, where family legacies are preserved in numerous small burial grounds including Kiser Cemetery, Brockway Cemetery, and Thompson Cemetery. The area's infrastructure is supported by the Muscatine Municipal Airport in the northeast and a network of county roads like Co HWY g38 that connect these rural communities. Local commerce and recreation are visible through features such as the Warehouse Raceway near Fruitland.
