2013 Map of Newbern

About this map

The small settlements of Newbern and Bauer anchor this rural landscape in south-central Iowa, situated along a network of county highways and secondary roads. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of White Breast Cr and its various tributaries, including Little White Breast Cr, Wolf Cr, and Winn Br. These waterways create a branching hydrographic pattern that dictates the placement of long-standing family farms and the grid of gravel roads like Co Hwy-G62 and Co Hwy-G76. North of these hamlets, the area around Rosemount marks the upper reaches of the map's coverage, where the land transitions between several smaller creek systems such as Flank Cr and Stony Cr. The map captures a quintessential Midwestern agricultural district where the original township structure remains visible through the alignment of numbered avenues and streets.
