2013 Map of Columbus Junction

About this map

The confluence of the Iowa River and Cedar River dominates this landscape, where the waters meet just east of Columbus Junction. This 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by its river-bottom geography and the established communities of Columbus City and Fredonia. The topography reveals a complex network of agricultural drainage, including the prominent Ditch Number 25, and local water bodies like Cone Lake. Evidence of civic and recreational life is centered near the river fork, notably at the Louisa County Fair Grounds and the River Fork Boat Ramp. Further north, the small settlement of Alimeda sits along the Muscatine-Louisa Co Line, while numerous creeks such as Pike Cr, Indian Cr, and Johnny Cr weave through the surrounding farmland. The map provides a contemporary view of these river towns as they integrate modern infrastructure with their traditional floodplain locations.
