2010 Map of Fairfax

About this map

Fairfax and Atkins anchor this agricultural and suburban landscape just west of the expanding Cedar Rapids metro area. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Prairie Creek, Morgan Creek, and Silver Creek, which bisect a grid of rural roads and emerging residential developments. Significant for genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies several prominent burial grounds, including Saint Stephens Cemetery, Saint Joseph Cemetery, Fairfax Cemetery, and Saint Patricks Cemetery, often situated near early church or family settlement sites. Local postal centers like the Atkins Post Office, Fairfax Post Office, and Walford Post Office mark the civic hubs for these communities. The map captures the transition of Linn County’s landscape as traditional farmsteads and creek valleys meet modern infrastructure, including the Country Aire Home Park and the burgeoning suburban reaches of Cedar Rapids.
