About this map

The Cedar River corridor defines the geography of eastern Austin, serving as the central axis for a series of water features and settlements. From the northern reach at Lansing, the landscape transitions through small residential pockets like Ramsey and Mapleview before reaching the urban center. Engineering of the river is evident at the Ramsey Dam and the Cedar River Dam, while the impoundment at East Side Lake provides a significant water landmark within the city grid.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds, including Oakwood Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, and Lansing Cemetery to the north. Transportation and public utility landmarks are prominent, from the Austin Municipal Airport on the eastern edge to the Historic Roosevelt Bridge crossing near the downtown area. The inclusion of the Mower County Fairgrounds and the Chateau Speedway near Lansing Corners highlights the regional role of the city as a center for recreation and community gathering in the early 21st century.
