About this map

The Iowa River carves a central path through this survey, anchoring the urban development of Iowa City and Coralville. The northern reaches of the map are defined by the Coralville Lake reservoir, formed by the Coralville Dam near the notable Devonian Fossil Gorge. This landscape demonstrates the intensive institutional and civic growth of the region, featuring the sprawling campus of the University of Iowa and its adjacent Medical Center.

Genealogists and local historians will find a concentrated cluster of burial sites, ranging from the large Oakland Cemetery and Saint Joseph Cemetery to the smaller Morman Burying Ground and Alt Cemetery. The transition from the dense street grids of University Heights to the residential expansion near North Liberty illustrates the evolving suburban character of Johnson County at the turn of the decade.
