About this map

The county seat of Tipton serves as the focal point for this survey conducted by Jno. H. Renshawe and topographer W. J. Peters. Located in the heart of Cedar County, the landscape is defined by the early development of the region's rail infrastructure during the late nineteenth century. The east-west corridor of the Chicago and North-Western Railroad connects the settlements of Mechanicsville, Stanwood, and Clarence, while the Cedar Rapids and Northern Railroad provides the critical north-south link into Tipton.
