2022 Map of Cedar Bluff

About this map

Cedar Bluff sits along the northern banks of the Cedar River, serving as a focal point for this rural landscape where the borders of Linn, Johnson, and Cedar counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries feeding the river, including Rock Run Cr, Coon Cr, and Gower Cr. This area is particularly noteworthy for its numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Evergreen Hill Cem, Shawver Cem, and Mason Cem, which provide a geographic record of early settlement patterns in this part of Iowa. The township-and-range grid system is clearly visible, with local thoroughfares like Solon Rd and Co Hwy F28 connecting the dispersed farmsteads and agricultural lands. In the southwest corner, Saint Bridgets Cem stands as a landmark near the county line, illustrating the importance of these small rural institutions in the local history of the region.
