About this map

The agrarian landscape of Cedar County, Iowa, is meticulously documented on this map, highlighting the grid of section lines and gravel roads that define this region. Small communities such as Wald and Buchanan appear alongside the northwestern edges of Tipton, the county seat. The topography is shaped by the winding paths of W Rock Cr and Rock Run Cr, which carve shallow valleys through the surrounding farmland.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its density of local burial grounds, including Red Oak Cem, County Home Cem, and the Wood Bridge Cem near Buchanan. The transition from rural township life to the municipal outskirts of Tipton is evident, where the Mathews Memorial Airport sits just north of Saint Marys Cem and the Masonic Cem. This survey provides a precise record of property divisions and rural infrastructure during the early 21st century.
