1972 Map of Little Cedar

About this map

The Little Cedar River and Wapsipinicon River wind through this Mitchell County landscape, defining a rural Iowa region near the Minnesota border in the early 1970s. The village of Little Cedar serves as a focal point in the south, while the settlement of Meyer stands further north near the county line. The land's agricultural and transit history is visible in the prominent Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the terrain, reflecting the evolution of transportation in the Midwest. Local heritage is deeply rooted in several community landmarks, including David Ch, St Patrick Cem, and Robbins Cem. Industrial activity is represented by a local Quarry and various gravel pits, illustrating the area's reliance on local natural resources alongside its river-based recreation at the Wapsi River Access.
