About this map

Iowa City stands as the central hub of this 1930s survey, defined by the winding course of the Iowa River and the expanding grounds of the University of Iowa. The landscape reflects a well-established agricultural and institutional network, featuring the State Sanatorium near Oakdale and the early Iowa City Landing Field south of the city center. The dense grid of the county seat contrasts with the surrounding rural townships like Sharon and Penn, which are dotted with a high density of rural schoolhouses such as School No 1 County Farm and Greenback Sch.
