    Cylinder, Iowa?  Hmm.  I wonder what the significance of 
    that name is.

Google to the rescue!

    "The community was named for the nearby Cylinder Creek, 
    named for a time when pioneers tried to carry a heavy 
    machine across the creek. A cylinder dislodged and was lost 
    in the water."
