About this map

The Cedar River defines the landscape of Floyd County as it winds through this 2015 study, anchoring the urban center of Charles City and the smaller settlement of Floyd. The map reveals the intricate grid of the county seat, where significant crossings like the Suspension Bridge and Brantingham Bridge connect the community across the water. The surrounding area remains largely agricultural, partitioned by township lines such as t96n r16w and t96n r15w.

Genealogists will find a concentration of burial sites including Calvary Cem, Riverside Cem, and Sunnyside Memory Gardens, providing a clear record of local family history. Smaller watercourses like Bloody Run and Stewart Cr drain the outlying fields, while the transition between the village of Floyd and the rail-oriented Floyd Crossing highlights the historical development of transport corridors in northern Iowa.
