2018 Map of Swisher

About this map

The Iowa River meanders through the heart of this landscape, defining a corridor of wetlands and backwaters south of Swisher. This 2018 survey captures the interface of established rural communities and the southern expansion of Cedar Rapids along the corridor towards North Liberty. The topographic data highlights a region rich in family and local history, as evidenced by several smaller burial grounds such as Anderson Cem, Blain Cem, and Greencastle Cem. Aviation and recreation are central to the area's modern character, with the Green Castle Airport situated near the broad marshlands of Swan Lake and Twin Lake. The map details a well-connected grid of county roads, including Linn-Johnson Rd, which reflects the historical boundary between the two counties and the enduring importance of transit between settlements like Shueyville and Western.
