About this map

Lake McBride dominates the center of this landscape, its sprawling waters and irregular shoreline defining the geography between the growing communities of Solon and North Liberty. The Iowa River flows through the southwestern portion of the sheet, while the Hoover Nature Trl follows a linear path across the terrain, reflecting the conversion of former rail corridors into modern recreational space. This 2022 survey captures a mix of residential expansion and preserved agricultural history, with the city of Ely situated at the northern edge.

Genealogists will find numerous burial sites documented throughout the area, including First Presbyterian Cem, Sulek Cem, and Facklers Grove Cem. Smaller enclaves like Twin View Heights sit near the lake, while the terrain is drained by several waterways such as Hoosier Cr, Mill Cr, and Jordan Cr. The road network is dense, connecting established town centers with newer subdivisions through routes like Ely Rd and Banner Valley Rd.
