About this map

The Little Cedar River winds through this Mitchell County landscape, anchoring a rural agricultural district defined by a precise grid of roads like Primrose Ave and Timber Ave. The settlement of New Haven sits in the southeast, near the Saint Peters Catholic Cemetery, while the small community of Brownville is located further north along the river's edge. This 2010 survey illustrates the enduring patterns of Iowa's township and range system, where scattered farmsteads are connected by numbered streets and named avenues.

Water management and conservation are evident at the Melrose Pond Access, providing a focal point for local recreation near the river. Significant tributaries such as Beaver Creek, Burr Oak Creek, and Fish Creek feed into the main waterway, carving subtle drainage patterns into the prairie. Genealogists will find the locations of Brownville Cemetery and the Catholic grounds essential for tracing family ties in this quiet corner of the state.
