About this map

Coralville Lake and the winding Iowa River dominate the southern half of this landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands and backwaters including Wisniewski Pond and Swan Lake. The northern portion transition into a grid of rural homesteads and small communities, notably Swisher and Shueyville, connected by a web of named secondary roads such as Cherry Valley Rd SW and Linn-Johnson Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites across the township lines, including Western Cem, Blain Cem, and Greencastle Cem. The presence of the Green Castle Airport in the southwest and the small settlement of Cou Falls near the river highlights the mix of recreational, residential, and agricultural land use in this part of Iowa. Waterways like S Hoosier Cr and Swisher Cr feed into the larger reservoir system, shaping the local topography.
