About this map

Tipton serves as the focal point of this Eastern Iowa landscape, where the town’s residential grid sits adjacent to the Cedar County Fairgrounds and the Tipton Speedway. The surrounding countryside is defined by the meandering courses of West Rock Creek and Rock Run Creek, which break the geometric precision of the section-line road network.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of memorial sites scattered across the rural townships, including Red Oak Cemetery, Sand Hill Cemetery, and Wood Bridge Cemetery. The map also documents local transportation and community landmarks such as Mathews Memorial Airport and the small settlements of Buchanan, Wald, and Shiloh. This 2010 survey reflects a classic Midwestern agricultural pattern where small rural communities and historic family burial grounds remain preserved amidst modern infrastructure.
