Eddyville

Eddyville lies along the Des Moines River, where a broad valley crosses the rolling cropland of southeastern Iowa. The city extends into Wapello, Mahaska and Monroe counties, an unusual three-county setting that reflects the patchwork geography of this part of the state. Its riverside location belongs to the wider Des Moines Valley, where coal seams supported mining communities during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, Cargill’s corn-processing operation reflects the area’s enduring agricultural industry.
