2018 Map of Ottumwa South

About this map

Ottumwa marks the northern edge of this landscape, where residential streets like W Mary St and Silk Ave transition into the creek-cut terrain of southern Wapello Co. The terrain is defined by the drainage networks of Little Soap Cr and Village Cr, which flow through a rural patchwork of timber and small-scale agriculture. This area is notably dense with small, family-named burial sites and historic church plots, such as Point Isabel Cem and the Wilkenson Grave. To the south, the landscape crosses the Wapello County and Davis County line, revealing the small communities of Ormanville and Carbon. The proximity of landmarks like the County Farm Number One Cem and Sherman Chapel Cem provides significant geographical context for local families tracing roots between the city limits and the creek bottoms.
