Iowa City was the state capital from 1846 until the seat of government moved to Des Moines in 1857, and the town kept the University of Iowa, founded in 1847, at the center of its civic life. A map from 1868 captures a community that had grown around its campus and the streets laid out in the decades after settlement. Town maps of this era typically recorded streets, lots, and public buildings, which makes them useful for tracing how small Midwestern river towns took shape in the years after the Civil War.
