About this map

The Cedar River and its numerous tributaries, including Turtle Creek and Rock Creek, define the agricultural and transportation landscape across this northern Iowa and southern Minnesota border region in the mid-1980s. Centered on Charles City, the map reveals a high density of aviation landmarks, from the Charles City Municipal Airport and Mosher Airport to more informal sites like Ellen Church Field and the Bel-Air Landing Field. These airfields, combined with the presence of the Illinois Central Gulf and Chicago Milwaukee ST Paul And Pacific rail lines, highlight the area's role as a logistical hub for the surrounding farm country.
