About this map

Iowa City expands into its eastern rural surroundings on this 2010 survey, showing the transition from urban neighborhoods to the agricultural landscapes of Johnson County. The map provides significant genealogical value through its documentation of numerous small burial grounds including the Brick Chapel Cemetery, Molback Farm Cemetery, and Saint Marys Cemetery. These sites, often located near minor settlements like Newport and Elmira, offer a clear view of the area's early settlement patterns.

The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Rapid Creek and Snyder Creek, which cut through the grid of country roads such as Wapsi Ave NE and Herbert Hoover Hwy NE. Local recreational and infrastructure markers are also present, ranging from the Hi Point Golf Course to the small Picayune Airport, illustrating the modern development of this corridor between the city and small towns like Oasis.
