2010 Map of Newell East

About this map

Newell sits at the western edge of this agricultural landscape in Buena Vista County, where the regular grid of Iowa country roads meets the meandering course of Prairie Creek. The township is defined by a rigorous network of section lines, including 220th Ave and 650th St, which partition the fertile terrain. Family history is well-preserved here through several burial grounds, such as the Cooke Cemetery and the First M E Church Cemetery located near the center of the quadrangle. These rural landmarks, along with the Newell Cemetery on the outskirts of town, provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads. The layout of the land reflects a century of organized farming, punctuated by local landmarks like the Newell Golf Course and the small station point at Cora.
