About this map

Tiffin and North Liberty anchor the northern landscape of Johnson County, where the topography transitions from the suburban edges of Coralville to the rural expanses of western Iowa. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Clear Creek and Buffalo Creek, which carve through the terrain near the central settlement of Tiffin. To the south, the small community of Cosgrove sits among the headwaters of Old Womans Creek and North Branch Old Man's Creek, maintaining its rural character.

Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds and landmarks that punctuate the countryside. Genealogists can locate Saint Peter Cemetery near Cosgrove, as well as Oak Hill Cemetery and Summerhays Cemetery further north. The landscape also features Sand Hill, a distinct elevation rising between the drainages of Deer Creek and Clear Creek, providing a natural waypoint in this section of the state's rolling plains.
