Editing Cedar Rapids, Iowa (section)

==Geography==
[[File:Cedar Rapids - Mays Island.jpg|thumb|[[Mays Island]], with the [[Linn County Courthouse (Iowa)|Linn County Courthouse]] in the rear of the former City Hall]]
The city is divided into four quadrants, used in assigning street addresses. 1st Avenue ([[U.S. Route 151 Business (Cedar Rapids, Iowa)|U.S. Route 151 Business]]) divides the north and south sides of the city, and the [[Cedar River (Iowa River)|Cedar River]] divides east and west. [[Mays Island]], in the middle of the river, is the only area of the city where addresses have no quadrant. Areas outside the city limits that have a Cedar Rapids mailing address do not use the quadrants either.

Except in the downtown area, 1st Avenue and the Cedar River tend to run diagonally instead of along the cardinal directions. Due to the curving of 1st Avenue, there are some areas in western Cedar Rapids where NW addresses are actually south of SW addresses.

Cedar Rapids is divided into 14 [[ZIP Code]]s. Mays Island and the downtown area are covered by 52401. The northeast quadrant is covered by 52402 and 52411. The southeast quadrant is covered by 52403. The southwest quadrant is covered by 52404. The northwest quadrant is covered by 52405. [[Post office box]]es are covered by ZIP codes 52406, 52407, 52408, 52409, and 52410. Several other ZIP codes are for specific businesses ([[Transamerica Corporation|Aegon]] USA, [[Collins Aerospace]], etc.).

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|72.07|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, of which {{convert|70.8|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is land and {{convert|1.27|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is water.<ref name="Gazetteer files">{{cite web |title=US Gazetteer files 2010 |url=https://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |access-date=May 11, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120112090031/http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt |archive-date=January 12, 2012}}</ref>

There are twelve active neighborhood associations in Cedar Rapids. The neighborhoods nearest downtown include Wellington Heights and Oakhill Jackson in the southeast quadrant and Moundview in the northeast quadrant. Also farther north in the northeast quadrant are Noelridge Park and Kenwood Park, which was independent until it was incorporated into the Cedar Rapids city limits. The boundaries of Kenwood are 32nd Street to Oakland Road to Old Marion Road to C Avenue to 40th Street then 1st Avenue between 40th street and 32nd Street.<ref name="crneighborhoods">{{cite web|url=http://www.crneighborhoods.org/|title=CR Neighborhoods|publisher= Home|access-date=December 13, 2010}}</ref>

In addition to the neighborhood associations in Cedar Rapids, there are many informal, unofficial neighborhoods, such as Bowman Woods, Vernon Heights, Stoney Point, Kingston Village, [[New Bohemia (NewBo)]] and Wilderness Estates.

Czech Village is located along 16th Avenue SW, south of the Cedar River. It is home to such Czech-themed businesses as The Czech Cottage, Sykora Bakery, and White Lion Treasures. The [[National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library]] is one of Cedar Rapids' major tourist attractions. The museum's main building was directly on the river and was badly damaged by the 2008 floods. After the flood the museum moved a few blocks to Inspiration Place SW. The Bohemian National Cemetery is located nearby.

In 2024, a new [[astronomical clock]] was built, the opening was attending by Czech President [[Petr Pavel]] and his wife [[Eva Pavlová]] and Slovak President [[Peter Pellegrini]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Uprostřed lánů státu Iowa vyrostl český orloj.
