About this map

Waterloo and its southeastern neighbors occupy this section of the Cedar River valley, where urban development transitions into the agricultural grid of Black Hawk County. The map details a sophisticated network of recreation and transport, including the Cedar Valley Nature Trl and the Downtown Riverwalk Loop Trl, which follow the river through Evansdale and Elk Run Heights. The administrative heart of the region is centered at the Black Hawk County Courthouse, while higher education is represented by the Hawkeye Community College Main Campus to the south.

Legacy and community history are evident in the numerous burial grounds, such as the Sons of Jacob Cem and the Muslim Cem, reflecting the diverse heritage of the area. Further south, the map illustrates smaller settlements like Washburn and Orange, where the terrain is marked by Sink Cr and Miller Cr. This modern survey records the ongoing evolution of these riverfront communities and their connection to the surrounding Iowa prairie.
