2010 Map of Bertram

About this map

The Cedar River carves a winding path through this portion of Linn County, shaping the settlement patterns of Bertram and Vernon View. To the northwest, the edge of Cedar Rapids is visible near the Bever Zoo, showing the transition from urban expansion to the rural road networks of the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by its many waterways, including Indian Creek, Squaw Creek, and Big Creek, which necessitated several infrastructure points such as the Indian Creek Bridge and the Bertram Bridge. Local history is anchored by several family-named burial grounds, such as Campbell Cemetery, Williams Cemetery, and the Moore-Skillman Cemetery, which remain as permanent markers of the area's rural heritage. The map also captures recreation and local transit corridors, from the Airport National Public Golf Complex in the south near Ely to the established grid of county roads like Mount Vernon Rd SE.
