About this map

The town of Tiffin serves as a focal point in this 1960s Iowa landscape, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad tracks cut through the drainage of Clear Creek. To the south, the settlement of Cosgrove sits near St Peter Dem, reflecting the rural community structures of Johnson County during this era. The terrain is defined by undulating hills and stream valleys, notably Sand Hill and the meandering paths of Old Mans Creek and Mona Creek.

Evidence of mid-century infrastructure is visible in the alignment of Interstate 80 and its associated Rest Area, which run parallel to the older rail corridor. The map preserves the specific locations of local landmarks such as the Unity Ch and a Radio Tower, alongside industrial traces like the Quarries located near the eastern edge. Fine red dashed lines denote field and fence lines captured during aerial photography, providing a detailed look at agricultural boundaries between townships like Madison and Oxford.
