Dave,
If you have specific questions, there are a few of us who can probably help
significantly. Keokuk seems to be an increasingly popular subject for a model
railroad. I've been working on mine now for 8 or 9 years. Rob's site has been
a great source for vintage photos of structures. Do you have a specific time
frame in mind?

Rob,
I too would love to have a copy of the Sanborn map. I'm trying to
design a layout around Keokuk and have found your website very
helpful, but still am left guessing as to the location of some of the
important structures.
