About this map

Black Hawk Creek flows southeastward through this part of the Cedar Valley, providing a natural corridor between the expanding urban fringes of Cedar Falls and Waterloo. The 2015 landscape shows a mix of suburban development and remaining agricultural tracts, with modern educational institutions like Kaplan Univ - Cedar Falls Campus and leisure areas such as Witcombe Field punctuating the terrain.

Genealogical and local history interests are well-served by the documentation of several burial grounds, including the large Waterloo Memorial Park Cem and Mount Olivet Cem, as well as the specialized Pet Haven Cem. The southern portion of the map focuses on the community of Hudson, where the Hudson Cem and street grids contrast with the industrial and transit-heavy Cedar Falls Junction to the north. Smaller water features like Prescott's Cr and Prairie Lakes illustrate the local hydrology and drainage patterns of the region.
