1954 Map of Cedar Rapids SE

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Old Indian Boundary bisects the southern reaches of this landscape, marking a significant historical line across Boone and Nance counties. This survey, updated in the mid-1980s, highlights the drainage patterns of Plum Creek and the meandering Cedar River, which dominates the southwest corner of the quadrangle. The Union Pacific railroad corridor follows the river valley, reflecting the critical infrastructure that supported the development of the Missouri River Basin. The terrain is characterized by intricate contour lines defining the upland ridges and draws, with a few isolated landmarks such as a Windmill and the small settlement of Cedar providing points of reference for local history and genealogy researchers tracking the rural development of this Nebraska region during the mid-20th century.
