2018 Map of New London

About this map

New London stands as the primary hub of this eastern Iowa landscape, where the grid of a modern township meets the intricate drainage systems of the Big Creek watershed. The map reveals a high concentration of burial grounds, including Ebeneezer Cem in the north and Beery Cem to the southwest, serving as vital markers for genealogical research. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous waterways such as Spearman Br, Dickey Br, and Brush Cr, which create a complex network of ridges and valleys that have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and local transit. The transition from the rural roads like Oasis Ave and Quaker Ave to the more structured streets of W Main St and E McKinley St illustrates the development of this agricultural community and its orientation toward the US Hwy 34 corridor.
