About this map

The Des Moines River carves a deep path through this landscape, anchoring the development of Ottumwa. By the early 21st century, the city had grown into a complex urban hub, with distinct districts like Pickwick, East Ottumwa, and Port Richmond established along the riverbanks and rail corridors. The transportation infrastructure is dense here, featuring the Ottumwa Junction and the sprawling Ottumwa Industrial Airport to the north.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, ranging from the large Ottumwa Cemetery and Hebrew Jewish Cemetery near the city center to outlying locations like Burns Cemetery and the County Farm Cemetery. The map also captures local recreational and social markers, such as the Ottumwa Municipal Golf Course and Camp Wish-Ton-Wish, illustrating how the community utilizes the terrain between major tributaries like Bear Creek and Sugar Creek.
