2012 Map of New London

About this map

New London serves as the focal point of this Ralls County landscape, situated where the terrain begins to transition from agricultural uplands toward the winding course of the Salt River. In the early 21st century, the area shows a clear pattern of rural development, with clusters of family and community burial grounds like Barkley Cemetery, Pleasant View Cemetery, and Watson Cemetery preserved among the fields. The drainage network is particularly detailed, tracing the paths of Turkey Creek and Plum Creek as they move toward the river valley. Further south, the small settlement of Owendale sits near the intersection of several county routes, reflecting the enduring rural infrastructure of the region. Distinctive landmarks such as Flint Hill and Ralls Junction provide orientation within a landscape largely defined by its network of named roads, including New London Gravel Rd and Kingsville Rd.
