2013 Map of New Haven

About this map

New Haven and the small settlement of Brownville anchor this Mitchell County landscape, where the meandering course of the Little Cedar River dictates the local geography. The river system is augmented by several tributaries, including Burr Oak Cr, Beaver Cr, and Fish Cr, which carve through the Iowa prairie. The map reflects a meticulously planned rural grid, with a dense network of numbered roads like 410th St and named avenues such as Timber Ave and Primrose Ave facilitating agricultural transit. Near the southeastern edge of the map, the Melrose Pond Access provides a specific point of interaction with the local waterways, situated just west of the primary settlement at New Haven. The area's character is defined by this intersection of natural drainage and systematic land division, typical of the northern Iowa farm belt.
