2018 Map of Jewell

About this map

Jewell Junction and the adjacent town of Jewell anchor this agricultural landscape in Hamilton County. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, including the Grove Br Ditch, Loop Br Ditch, and several numbered channels like Ditch Number 265, which have historically managed the prairie wetlands for farming. In the southeast, Little Wall Lake provides a natural contrast to the grid-heavy township lines and section roads. Local history and genealogy interests are served by the presence of Evergreen Cem on the outskirts of town and the private Lund Airport located further south. The map documents the persistent agricultural footprint of central Iowa, where even small watercourses like Keigley Br and Rahto Br Ditch are vital to the local geography.
