2013 Map of Fairfax

About this map

Fairfax and Walford anchor this 2013 survey of the Cedar Rapids outskirts, illustrating the persistent agricultural grid intersecting with modern residential expansion. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Prairie Cr, which flows eastward toward the more developed fringes of Hometown-Cedar Terrace. While the northern section around Atkins maintains its classic small-town structure, the central portion of the map shows a more complex web of infrastructure, including the intersections of 80th St NW and Covington Rd. The presence of numerous creeks like Morgan Cr and Silver Cr creates a natural drainage network that has dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads for generations. This map provides a clear record of the transition from rural Linn County heritage to suburban integration as the regional population moved outward from the urban center.
