About this map

The Des Moines River carves a deep path through Wapello County, anchoring the urban center of Ottumwa and the industrial activity of the mid-1950s. This survey illustrates a dense network of neighborhoods and civic institutions, featuring numerous schools such as Franklin Sch, Washington Jr High Sch, and the campus of Ottumwa Heights College. The landscape is defined by its transition from the built-up city core toward the agricultural uplands of Richland and Highland townships.
