About this map

Iowa City serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century survey, situated at the confluence of the river and major rail lines. The local geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Clear Creek and Old Man Creek, which traverse the undulating landscape of Johnson County. These valleys shaped the early development of the region, providing natural corridors for both transport and small settlements like Tiffin and Coralville.
