About this map

Iowa City expands into the rolling Johnson County countryside in this mid-2010s survey, showing the transition from urban residential grids to the agricultural townships of the Cedar River basin. The map tracks several small, distinct rural communities including Morse, Newport, Elmira, and Oasis, many of which are anchored by local heritage sites such as Saint Marys Cem and Morse Cem.

Surface drainage is defined by several prominent waterways, including Ralston Cr, Snyder Cr, and Rapid Cr, which weave through the landscape. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the presence of the Picayune Airport and the corridor of the Herbert Hoover Hwy SE. Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the documentation of numerous burial grounds like Brick Chapel Cem and Memory Gardens Cem, which mark the historical footprint of the county's early settlers.
