1965 Map of Solon
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Cedar River carves a winding path through the eastern half of this Johnson County landscape, creating a distinct boundary for the townships of Franklin and Cedar. The village of Solon serves as a primary hub in the west, situated near the wooded expanse of Big Grove and the eastern edge of Lake Macbride State Park. Transportation patterns are defined by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, which cuts diagonally across the southern terrain through the small settlement of Morse. Further north, the river crossing at Sutliff remains a focal point of local activity, marked by the nearby Sutliff Cem. The map documents a rural Iowa community in the mid-1960s, where traditional landmarks like SS Peter and Paul Ch stand alongside numerous creek systems including Mill Creek, Jordan Creek, and Clear Creek.
