About this map

Cedar Rapids serves as the industrial and commercial anchor of this mid-1990s landscape, with its southern expansion clearly delineated by the Corporate Boundary pushing into the rural township. The Cedar River meanders through the heart of the city, passing Ellis Island and Municipal Island while supporting heavy infrastructure like the nearby filtration plant. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by large-scale transportation and recreational hubs, including the Cedar Rapids Municipal Airport and the sprawling Hawkeye Downs fairground complex.

Education and community centers are densely clustered, from Kirkwood Community College to specialized facilities like Jefferson High Sch. Smaller named settlements such as Konigsmark and Worthington Acres remain distinct on the periphery. The map also documents the transition from urban to agricultural land, marked by numerous schools like Prairie High Sch and several cemeteries including Linwood Cemetery and Oak Hill Cemetery, which offer valuable data points for local genealogy.
