1971 Map of Vinton
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The Cedar River creates a dynamic corridor through this portion of Benton County, shaping the growth and recreation patterns of Vinton. On the western bank, the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad parallels the water, serving the town's industrial needs and nearby Quarry sites. The community’s civic and social infrastructure is well-defined, featuring prominent institutions such as the Iowa Braille & Sightsaving Sch, Gay Hospital, and multiple local schools including Lincoln High Sch and Washington High Sch. North of the city, the Dudgeon Lake State Wildlife Management Area covers a complex network of wetlands and sloughs, while Barnets Island and Barnets Cutoff illustrate the shifting nature of the river channel. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating cemeteries such as Evergreen Cem, Maplewood Cem, and the more remote Greenwalt Cem.
