About this map

Waterloo sits along the Cedar River in this 2018 survey, which shows the city's northern expansion and the rural-urban interface of Black Hawk County. The river corridor is particularly notable for its distinct islands, including San Souci Island and the evocatively named Robinson Crusoe Island near the city's western edge. The northern landscape is predominantly agricultural, partitioned by a grid of county highways like Co HWY c57 and rural routes such as W Bennington Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data in the rural sections, where several historical burial grounds are preserved. These include the Saint Johns Lutheran Cem, Bennington Township Cem, and the Saint John's Evangelical Lutheran Church Cem located near Elk Run in the northeast. The transition from industrial and residential streets like Martin Luther King Jr Dr to the outlying settlement of Armour provides a clear view of the region's contemporary spatial organization.
