USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Waterloo and Cedar Falls industrial corridor anchors this mid-century survey, illustrating the complex relationship between central Iowa's prairie agriculture and its urban manufacturing hubs. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Cedar River, Shell Rock River, and West Fork Cedar River, which historically dictated the growth of settlements like Janesville and Waverly. Further south and west, the Iowa River carves through Hardin County, connecting Iowa Falls and Eldora through a series of dramatic bends.
