About this map

Cedar Valley and Rochester stand as the primary settlements along the winding path of the Cedar River in this part of Cedar County. The river's influence is evident in the broad alluvial plain of Green Bay Bottoms, while the surrounding upland terrain is dissected by numerous waterways including Rock Run Cr, Pee Dee Cr, and Crooked Cr. A dense network of local roads and highways like Co HWY x40 and Cedar Valley RD connects these rural communities, reflecting a landscape long defined by agricultural land use.

For genealogists and local historians, this survey is particularly notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds. From Mount Zion Cem in the north to Dunfee Cem in the south, these sites—including North Liberty Cem, Goodale Cem, and Bethel Cem—provide a clear record of early settlement patterns and the scattered clusters of population that once defined this river-valley region.
