2014 Map of Cedar Rapids SE

About this map

The Cedar River carves through the southwestern corner of this agricultural region, marking a distinct change in the landscape where the dissected uplands meet the river valley. In the north and central portions, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Plum Cr and Bogus Cr, which drain the rolling hills of Boone County. This 2014 survey illustrates the local importance of water management in the plains, evidenced by the presence of the Hollman Reservoir and Loeffler Reservoir. The border between Boone Co and Nance Co runs across the southern section, where the rigid grid of rural roads, such as 380th St and Road 227, overlays the natural hydrology. The map captures a moment in the modern rural economy where state routes like Ne-52 and Ne-56 connect the dispersed farmsteads of the Nebraska interior.
