2013 Map of Brandon

About this map

The Cedar River flows through this Eastern Iowa landscape, creating a meandering boundary near the small community of Brandon. In the early 21st century, the area maintains its rural character with a grid of country roads such as S Blackhawk Buchanan Ave and Wellman Rd connecting scattered settlements. To the south, Mount Auburn sits near the riverbanks, where the Mount Auburn Bridge facilitates travel across the water. The drainage basin is defined by several tributaries, including Lime Creek, Mud Creek, and Spring Creek, which weave through the agricultural parcels. The tiny hamlet of Sunny Side occupies a quiet position east of the main river valley, while the interstate corridor cuts diagonally across the northern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the modern transport network's overlay on the traditional riverine landscape.
