2018 Map of Lowden

About this map

Lowden sits at the heart of this Cedar County landscape, where the historic route of the Old Lincoln Hwy intersects with the local grid of agricultural section lines. This area of eastern Iowa is defined by a dense concentration of small family and community burial sites, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. Named locations such as the Elliott Parr Grave, Van Horn Cem, and Homrighausen Cem are scattered across the terrain, often appearing as small plots adjacent to farmsteads. The local drainage system is shaped by small waterways like Yankee Run, Lizard Cr, and Rock Cr, which cut through the rolling fields. The presence of both the Zion Church and its accompanying Zion Church Cem further illustrates the established rural community structures that persisted into the late 2010s.
