2011 Map of Cedar Rapids

About this map

The Cedar River meanders across the northern reaches of Boone County, anchoring the landscape between the settlements of Cedar Rapids and Primrose. In this part of Nebraska, the terrain is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of Silver Valley Creek and the North Branch Timber Creek, with Pilot Knob providing a rare named topographical marker in the rolling plains. The town of Cedar Rapids serves as a local hub, containing vital infrastructure like the Cedar Rapids Post Office and the Cedar Rapids Municipal Airport. Significant for genealogists, the map identifies three distinct burial grounds near the town: Saint Anthony Cemetery, Sunset Cemetery, and Sunrise Cemetery. These features, along with the smaller community of Primrose and its own Primrose Post Office to the northwest, document the rural civic structure of the region in the early 21st century.
