About this map

Lime City serves as the focal point of this Cedar County landscape, where the rural character of eastern Iowa is defined by a dense network of country roads and family cemeteries. The topography is carved by Sugar Creek and its tributaries, including Bennett Creek and Crooked Creek, which wind through the township divisions of t80n r2w and t79n r2w. This 2018 survey reveals a remarkably preserved record of 19th-century settlement through its burial grounds, such as Centerville Cem and South Bethel Cem.

The persistence of local heritage is evident in landmarks like Sugar Creek Church and the adjacent Sugar Creek Church Cem. While modern infrastructure such as County Road F51 and County Highway X52 provides regional connectivity, the interior remains a quiet landscape of agricultural plots and small water bodies like Koch Lake and Cedar Lakes. The numerous small cemeteries, including Eureka Cem and Moneka Cem, offer significant geographic markers for genealogists tracing early families in the region.
