About this map

The town of South English serves as the focal point of this northern Keokuk County landscape, situated where Main St meets the rural road network. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding course of the South English River, which meanders across the northern half of the map, and several smaller tributaries like Troublesome Cr and German Cr that drain the rolling agricultural fields.

For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several well-dispersed burial grounds, including the South English Cem just north of town and the Church of the Brethren Cem to the east. Farther south, the Pleasant Hill Cem and Lafayette Cem provide key markers for rural family histories. The rigid grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as 150th St and 280th Ave, illustrates the enduring structure of Iowa's township and range surveying system.
