2015 Map of Riverside

About this map

Riverside sits at the confluence of the agricultural uplands and the river valleys of southeast Iowa. This survey reveals a landscape defined by the winding course of the English River as it approaches its junction with the Iowa River near the eastern border of Washington County. The town is well-represented with a detailed street grid including River St and Glasgow St, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with small family and community burial grounds. These sites, such as Saint Vincent Cem, Old Captains Cem, and Patterson Cem, provide significant landmarks for genealogists tracing early settlement patterns. The map also tracks the smaller waterways of Davis Cr and Goose Cr, which carve through the townships of t77n r7w and t76n r6w, illustrating the drainage system that supports the region's productive farmland.
