About this map

The South Skunk River meanders across the northern half of this Mahaska County landscape, defining the agricultural and riparian character of the region. Near the western edge, the community of University Park is clearly defined by its residential grid and the presence of the University Park Cem. This area serves as a focal point for local history, showing the established proximity between the town center and surrounding landmarks. To the east, Lake Keomah and the adjacent Keomah Village highlight the area's recreational and residential development integrated with the natural terrain.

Several family and community burial grounds, such as Spring Creek Friends Cem, McDonald Cem, and Bloomfield Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, offering critical data points for genealogical research. The southern boundary includes the small settlement of Wright and the private Edgren Airport, illustrating the mix of traditional rural crossroads and modern aviation infrastructure within the Iowa heartland.
