New London serves as the primary urban center for this portion of Henry County, with its residential streets like W Washington St and E Cleveland St forming a structured grid amidst the surrounding agricultural landscape. The township is characterized by a high density of small family or community burial grounds, providing significant data points for genealogists. These sites, including Ebenezer Cem in the north and Beery Cem in the south, are often situated near the intricate drainage networks of Big Creek and its various tributaries like Brush Cr and Lawrence Cr. The terrain is defined by the erosion patterns of these waterways, which have carved modest valleys through the Iowa farmland, influencing the placement of secondary roads such as Oasis Ave and Quaker Ave as they navigate the shifting elevations of the local prairie.
