About this map

Urbana serves as the primary population center in this 2013 survey of Benton County, situated at the intersection of local routes like W Main St and Ash Ave. The landscape is dominated by the meandering path of the Cedar River, which carves through the terrain to create distinctive elevations such as Wildcat Bluff and East Bluff. These landforms highlight the geological transition between the upland agricultural fields and the river valley.

A network of drainage systems, including Prairie Creek and Bear Creek, defines the local hydrology, while Ice House Lake provides a localized water feature east of the river. The map also captures the path of the W Br Blue Creek in the northeastern corner. This area reflects a classic Iowa rural structure, where small-town residential blocks in Urbana contrast with the broad agricultural grid and the protected natural corridor of the river valley.
