1967 Map of Cedar Rapids South

About this map

Cedar River dominates this mid-1970s view of south Cedar Rapids, where industrial corridors and residential expansion meet the waterway's islands and parks. The map captures a high density of civic and religious infrastructure, featuring numerous schools like St Ludmilla Sch and Prairie High Sch, alongside a cluster of distinct burial grounds including the Oak Hill Cemetery, Moslem Cemetery, and Bohemian Cemetery. To the south, the landscape transitions from the urban core toward the Cedar Rapids Municipal Airport and the smaller settlement at Konigsmark. The presence of multiple rail lines, including the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific, underscores the city's role as a transportation hub. Notable features such as Hawkeye Downs Park and the Fairground indicate the area's development as a center for regional gathering and athletics during this era.
