2022 Map of Oakville
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Oakville and its surrounding riverbottoms define this stretch of the Iowa River, where the landscape is a complex network of wetlands and agricultural drainage. The topography reflects a history of managing the river's flow, evidenced by features like the Hawkeye-Dolbee Diversion Channel and the County Line Ditch separating Louisa Co and Des Moines Co. Family and community history is preserved across numerous rural burial grounds, from the Swedish Lutheran Cem in the south to Parson Cem and Edwards Cem near the river. The small settlements of Elrick Junction, Northfield, and Huron anchor the rural road grid, while numerous sloughs such as Diggins Slough, Ziegler Slough, and Dead Slough indicate the shifting historical course of the river through this fertile valley.
