About this map

The Cedar River meanders through the heart of this Linn County landscape, defining the character of Lewis Bottoms and creating a series of backwater lakes including Big Lewis Lake, Little Lewis Lake, and Williams Lake. The settlement of Center Point serves as the primary hub, showing a detailed street grid with thoroughfares like Main St and Water St that converge near the river's influence. To the northwest, the town of Urbana marks the opposite corner of the map, connected by a major modern transportation corridor that bisects the rural farmland.

Local landmarks such as Hannen Airport and the Rolling Acres Golf Course indicate the area's development as a regional recreation and transit point. The complex drainage of the Blue Cr system, including the W Br Blue Cr and E Br Blue Cr, highlights the intricate natural irrigation that has long supported the surrounding agricultural fields. Smaller water features like Ice House Lake and Pleasant Creek Lake further emphasize the water-rich geography of this section of Iowa.
