1984 Map of Iowa City

About this map

Cedar Rapids and Iowa City anchor this mid-1980s landscape, which centers on the river valleys of the Cedar River and the Iowa River. The influence of the University of Iowa is evident at the heart of Iowa City, while the surrounding countryside reflects a mix of intensive agriculture and conservation efforts. Significant recreational and wildlife areas, such as Lake Macbride State Park and the Hawkeye State Wildlife Management Area, illustrate the managed hydraulic environment of the Coralville Lake reservoir. Cultural heritage is quietly marked by the Amish Church in the southwest and Oakland Cem. Transportation networks are dominated by the I-80 corridor and several major rail lines, including the Chicago and North Western RR and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR, which connect the industrial hubs of the region.
