1994 Map of Cedar Rapids North

About this map

Cedar Rapids and its northern suburbs are documented here in the mid-1990s, revealing a landscape where residential expansion meets established rural character. The Cedar River winds through the southwestern corner, flanked by the Seminole Valley and parks like Ellis Park. The map captures the suburban growth of Hiawatha and Robins along the Cedar Valley Nature Trail, which follows an old railroad grade that once served the agricultural hinterland. Local history is preserved in small burial grounds such as Dunkard Cem and Squires-Oliphant Cem, while later development is anchored by the Lindale Plaza Shopping Center and educational institutions like John F Kennedy High Sch. The transition from the dense urban grid of Louisa to the scattered settlements of Midway and Toddville illustrates the region's late-twentieth-century residential footprint.
