2013 Map of Vinton

About this map

The Cedar River winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the settlement of Vinton. The river’s natural evolution is evident north of the city at Barnets Island and the adjacent Barnets Cutoff, highlighting the shifting hydrology of this part of Benton County. Several significant community landmarks define the southern and northern outskirts of the town. To the south, the Benton County Fairgrounds and the Benton County Speedway represent central hubs for local assembly and recreation. In the northeast, the Vinton Veterans Memorial Airpark serves the region’s aviation needs. The surrounding terrain is drained by a network of tributaries including Hinkle Cr, Mud Cr, and Pratt Cr, which carve through a grid of rural avenues and streets that radiate from the urban center.
