1967 Map of Cedar Rapids South

About this map

Cedar Rapids serves as the industrial and transport hub of Linn County, where the Cedar River flows past Municipal Island and the major rail corridors of the Chicago North Western. The map documents a significant era of post-war suburban and academic expansion, evidenced by the development of Lincolnway Village and the expansive grounds of Kirkwood Community College. Cultural and genealogical depth is found in the city's diverse burial grounds, including the St Johns Cemetery (Syrian), Bohemian Cemetery, and Muslim Cemetery. To the south, the Cedar Rapids Municipal Airport and the recreational Sac and Fox Trail follow the path of Prairie Creek, marking the transition from the dense urban grid of Clinton Township to the more open landscape of Fairfax and College townships.
