About this map

The Cedar River meanders through the heart of northern Iowa, anchoring the civic and commercial life of Charles City at the start of the 21st century. This survey documents the urban layout and surrounding rural townships, highlighting key infrastructure like the Suspension Bridge and Brantingham Bridge that span the waterway. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several major burial grounds, including Oakwood Cemetery, Riverside Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, and Sunnyside Memory Gardens.

Beyond the city center, the landscape transitions into a grid of agricultural roads such as Redwood Ave and Quarry Rd, punctuated by small settlements like Floyd Crossing and Doubleday. Cultural and recreational sites are well-distributed across the quadrangle, from the Cedar Springs Wesleyan Camp to the fairways of Wildwood Golf Course and Cedar Bend Golf Course. The survey also tracks the smaller tributaries feeding into the main river, including the appropriately named Bloody Run and Gizzard Creek.
