About this map

Tiffin sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad and the banks of Clear Creek. The map documents a period of significant infrastructure development, with the expansion of I-80 and the appearance of Interchange 237 and Interchange 238 near the corporate boundary of Coralville. To the west, the F W Kent County Park provides a large recreational area amid the agricultural sections of Oxford and Madison townships.

Genealogical interest is found in the southern reaches at Cosgrove, where the St Peter Ch and St Peter Cem remain as local landmarks. The drainage of Old Mans Creek and its North Branch defines the southern terrain in Hardin and Union, while the northern portion shows the growing outskirts of North Liberty. The presence of several Quarries and water infrastructure like the Water Tank near the western edge reflects the local industrial and utility footprint of the mid-1960s.
