About this map

The Wapsipinicon River carves a winding path through this Linn County landscape, serving as the primary drainage for numerous tributaries like Sutton Cr and Justins Cr. The area is anchored by the settlement of Central City, where a grid of streets including Commercial St and State St borders the river's edge. This modern survey reflects a deeply rooted rural layout, where historical small-town sites and family-named landmarks persist alongside newer developments.

Genealogists will find a significant number of burial sites scattered throughout the townships, including Paris Cem near the settlement of Paris and the Jordans Grove Cem to the southeast. The map details a transition from the structured blocks of Alburnett in the southwest to the more irregular terrain of Bunker Hill Rd and Maine Ridge Rd. These features, alongside smaller nodes like Rogers and Jordans Grove, provide a clear picture of the community's evolved transport and social geography.
