About this map

The Cedar River carves a winding path through the heart of this landscape, defining the low-lying Lewis Bottoms where Big Lewis Lake and Little Lewis Lake occupy the floodplain. This area, situated along the border of Benton Co and Linn Co, showcases a mix of established towns and rural farmsteads. The community of Center Point serves as a primary hub, organized around its central Center Point Cem, while the town of Urbana sits to the northwest near the Urbana Cem.

A notable historical marker, the Indian Boundary Rd, cuts diagonally across the terrain, reflecting the long-standing geopolitical divisions of early Iowa. Local history is further preserved in scattered family and community burial grounds, including the McBroom Cem and Green's Grove Cem. The presence of the Hannen Airport in the northeast corner and the branching waters of Blue Cr highlight the region's transport and natural drainage patterns.
