About this map

Sigourney serves as the central hub of this Keokuk County landscape, where a grid of streets like W Jackson St and S Main St define the town's core. The surrounding countryside is defined by the winding course of the North Skunk River and its various tributaries, including Troublesome Cr and Cedar Creek. Smaller settlements such as Lancaster and Hayesville anchor the outlying sections, providing a glimpse into the rural community structure of southeastern Iowa.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history through the numerous burial grounds scattered across the townships, from the Sigourney East Cem near the town center to more isolated sites like Trueblood Cem, Doggett Cem, and the County Home Cem. The map detail shows how the local road network, including Co Rd V56, navigates the river valleys and high ground between the various creeks that drain this portion of the state.
