River runs through Iowa towns from Cedar to Cedar Rapids

A travelogue recounts a canoe trip down the Cedar River from Turkey Foot to Cedar Rapids. The author describes dams and flood-control works, portages around barriers, encounters with locals, and reflections on how towns face upstream as industry and modernization reshape the river valley.

The Turkey Foot Crossroads and James Newell Barn

In the Cedar River Valley a historic Turkey Foot crossroads lies where the East Fork Shell Rock and West Fork meet to form the Cedar. The James Newell barn near Janesville is a pioneer relic dated around 1859, linked to settlers who arrived in 1845 on Nathan Boone’s recommendation. James Newell and his three wives reportedly fathered 16 Iowa residents.
