About this map

Iowa City and its surrounding suburbs dominate this mid-1990s landscape, illustrating a period of significant collegiate and infrastructure expansion. The Iowa River snakes through the center of the sheet, connecting the northern waters of Coralville Lake to the urban core. Academic and medical facilities of the University of Iowa are sprawling across both banks, while the University of Iowa Med Center stands as a central landmark in University Heights.

Transportation patterns are defined by the convergence of major routes at Interchange 244 and the active lines of the Iowa Interstate RR. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Oakland Cem and the smaller Alt Cem. The map also preserves the footprint of late 20th-century industry and recreation, from the active Quarries along the river to the sprawling greenery of Hickory Hill Park and the established Iowa City Municipal Airport.
