About this map

Tiffin sits at a crossroads of growth in Johnson County, where the Interstate 80 and Interstate 380 corridors intersect west of North Liberty. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Clear Creek and Buffalo Creek in the north, while the southern portion of the map transitions into the drainage basins of Old Womans Creek and Deer Creek. This 2015 survey illustrates the modern expansion of residential developments and road networks like Oakdale Blvd against a backdrop of older rural landmarks.

Local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds, including Oak Hill Cemetery near the heart of Tiffin and the more isolated Summerhays Cemetery located just north of Sand Hill. To the southwest, the small settlement of Cosgrove remains a distinct anchor for the surrounding agricultural community, centered around Saint Peter Cemetery. This map serves as an essential record of how traditional Iowan farmland and historic cemeteries have been integrated into the twentieth-century suburban landscape of the Iowa City area.
