2010 Map of Swisher

About this map

The meandering Iowa River carves a broad valley through this Johnson and Linn County landscape, where the waters flow toward the expansive Coralville Lake. This environment is characterized by the convergence of several waterways, including Plum Creek, Swisher Creek, and McAllister Creek, which historically dictated the placement of early homesteads and transport routes. Settlement is concentrated in the established communities of Swisher, Shueyville, and Western, with smaller locales like Cou Falls appearing near the lake's northern reaches.
