2013 Map of Mount Zion

About this map

The Des Moines River meanders through this portion of Van Buren County, anchoring the small rural settlements of Mount Zion and Kilbourn. This agricultural landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of numerous creeks, including Lick Cr, Little Lick Cr, and Little Cr, which cut through the terrain north of the river. The small community of Winchester sits in the northeast, connected by a network of local roads such as Co Hwy J16 and Lick Creek Rd. The map illustrates a contemporary rural Iowa layout where modern road designations like Osage Ave and Hawk Dr overlay a long-established pattern of river-valley settlement. This area remains primarily defined by its hydrology, with Rock Cr and Coppers Cr flowing toward the main river channel.
