2010 Map of Lowden

About this map

Lowden sits at a crossroads of early Iowa transportation, where the modern corridor meets the historic Old Lincoln Hwy. The landscape is defined by the regular grid of Cedar County's agricultural sections, interrupted only by the winding paths of Yankee Run, Lizard Creek, and Rock Creek. This rural township is a significant site for genealogical research, as evidenced by the high density of family and community burial grounds scattered across the countryside. To the south, the settlement of Inland appears near the Inland Cemetery, while the northern portion of the map identifies the Hickey School. The map's detailed road network, including Hoover Hwy and the Cedar Clinton Co Line, illustrates the enduring structure of the region's farm-to-market economy.
