USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Iowa River snakes through the eastern half of this landscape, its tight meanders defining the fertile Pleasant Valley region south of Iowa City. The settlement of Hills serves as a central hub, situated where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad corridor meets the river valley. This mid-1960s survey captures a transition between rural agriculture and academic expansion, evidenced by the presence of the University of Iowa Observatory in the southern hills near Crooked Creek.
