1970 Map of Columbus Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The confluence of the Cedar River and the Iowa River dominates this eastern Iowa landscape, creating a broad alluvial plain that historically shaped local settlement and transportation. Columbus Junction sits at this strategic watery junction, served by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, which follows the river valleys. The survey captures a well-established rural infrastructure of the early 1970s, documented through numerous family and community landmarks such as Tennessee Cem and Cedar Bethel Ch.
