2018 Map of Riverside

About this map

Riverside sits prominently at the confluence of the English River and the Iowa River, serving as a central hub for the surrounding rural agricultural landscape. This 2018 survey reveals a territory marked by a significant number of family and community burial grounds, including the Saint Vincent Cem, Mount Olivet Cem, and the Riverside Cem. These sites, along with the Patterson Cem and Locust Grove Cem, provide essential anchor points for genealogical research in Washington and Johnson Counties. The grid-like road network, featuring routes like Tulip Ave and Vine Ave, partitions the rolling terrain between active creek drainages like Davis Cr and Goose Cr. Further south, the map identifies Pfeifer Field and the Harrisburg Cem, illustrating the enduring nature of local landmarks in this corner of Iowa.
