About this map

Solon sits at the western edge of this Johnson County landscape, characterized by the winding course of the Cedar River as it cuts through the northeastern corner. The area is defined by its small agricultural settlements and a dense network of country roads like Sutliff Rd NE and Jordan Creek Rd NE. Local history is anchored by several religious and civic landmarks, including the Saint Peter and Pauls Catholic Cemetery and the Solon Post Office.

Near the river, the small community of Sutliff is a focal point, noted for the Sutliff Bridge and its namesake Sutliff Cemetery. The terrain is drained by numerous waterways such as Jordan Creek, Rapid Creek, and Mill Creek, which carve through the farmland between the northern reaches near Bartlett Field and the southern hamlet of Morse. This survey provides a clear look at the rural infrastructure and burial grounds that have served these Iowa townships for generations.
