2018 Map of Letts

About this map

Muscatine Island and the fertile lowlands of the Muscatine Slough define the eastern portion of this landscape, where the Muscatine County and Louisa County line intersects the agricultural heartland. The interior is marked by a network of drainage ways including Indian Creek, Whisky Run, and Michaelis Creek, which carve through the terrain between the upland settlements of Letts and Grandview. Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds throughout the countryside, such as Lettsville Cemetery, Brockway Cemetery, and Thompson Cemetery. The map also details the southern expansion of Muscatine and the Muscatine Municipal Airport near Fruitland, illustrating the transition from industrial city outskirts to the quiet wetland edges of Klum Lake.
