1963 Map of Waterloo South

About this map

The Cedar River carves a path through the heart of this urban and agricultural transition, separating the sprawling city of Waterloo from its neighbors Evansdale and Elk Run Heights. The 1963 survey shows the post-war expansion of the city, with a dense network of residential streets and numerous educational and religious institutions, such as Sacred Heart Sch and Columbus High Sch. To the south, the landscape shifts toward the townships of Orange and Cedar, where the smaller settlement of Washburn sits along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific tracks.
