About this map

The Iroquois River winds through the northern portion of this agricultural landscape, anchoring a complex system of drainage infrastructure essential to the region's productivity. In the southern half, the settlement of Goodland serves as a local hub, defined by its grid of streets including W Jasper St and S Newton St. Near the town's edge, Goodland Cem and Mount Calvary Cem provide significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians.

Smaller settlements and rural junctions like Brook, Foresman, Perkins, and Percy Junction are scattered throughout the territory, linked by a network of county roads. The landscape is heavily defined by named water management features such as Barten Ditch, Hunter Ditch, and Simonin Ditch, which reflect the engineering efforts to manage the wetlands of Newton and Jasper counties. North of Goodland, the terrain remains predominantly open, punctuated by Riverside Lake and the confluence of several small creeks.
