About this map

The Wapsipinicon River winds through the heart of Linn County, shaping the landscape near Central City and Paris. This 2018 survey reveals a rural terrain defined by established townships and well-connected county roads, where the legacy of early settlers is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds. Notable sites include Oakhill Cem overlooking the river and Jordan's Grove Cem to the southeast.

Infrastructure like the Upper Paris Bridge and the small settlements of Alburnett and Rogers indicate a long-standing agricultural and transport network. The map detail provides a clear view of the drainage patterns from Dry Cr and Indian Cr, which cut through the undulating elevations of Heatons Valley. For researchers and local historians, these features offer a contemporary look at the enduring geographic markers of the Cedar Rapids corridor.
