2013 Map of New London

About this map

New London serves as the central hub for this Henry County landscape, where the town's street grid meets the curving path of U.S. Route 34. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses that drain the surrounding agricultural land, including the winding Big Cr and its various tributaries like N Br Big Cr and Lawrence Cr. The map details a transition from the structured residential blocks of the town, featuring streets like W Main St and S Elm St, into an expansive rural grid defined by gravel and paved roads. These rural routes, such as Quaker Ave and Nebraska Ave, connect the outlying homesteads to the municipal center. Smaller drainage features like Spearman Br, Brush Cr, and Dickey Br pattern the fields, illustrating the hydrology that has shaped the local farm economy and property boundaries for generations.
