Notes on 2021 Iowa map

I guess Map Day is officially the Friday of Memorial Day weekend now. Here’s the big new PDF.

  • Dubuque’s Southwest Arterial is marked on both the main map and Dubuque inset. IA 32 is dead, US 52 has been removed from the city, and IA 3’s east end is at the now-former north end of 32, which is a logical place for it. The arterial has the full-size freeway line, which I wouldn’t be surprised to see reduced to a thinner line like IA 100 later.
  • The US 30/US 218 interchange is marked, and has exit number 231.
  • On the Waterloo-Cedar Falls inset, the IA 58 expressway has the Viking Road interchange and IA 27’s exit numbers on it.
  • Pioneer, in the southwest corner of Humboldt County, is now an unincorporated dot.
  • One thing it doesn’t have: 2020 city populations in the index. Will there be a stealth 2022 update that changes the index and, if necessary, city dot sizes?

Is that it? I’m not sure. I can’t think of anything else to jump out that wasn’t already on the 2019 or stealth-updated 2020 version. I would be hard-pressed to come up with “several hundred” to be sure. Shout out if you see something.
