2013 Map of Newell East

About this map

Newell anchors the northwest corner of this Buena Vista County landscape, where the town street grid meets the expansive agricultural section lines of the Iowa prairie. The town's community features, such as the Newell Golf Course, are nestled against the residential edges defined by N Rogers Rd and E Jensen St. Southeast of the main settlement, the land is defined by the winding course of Prairie Creek, which cuts a natural diagonal path through the rigid township-and-range road system. This 2013 survey illustrates the highly organized drainage network essential to local agriculture, including the engineered Drainage Ditch Number 20. Small historical footprints like Cora remain along the rail-aligned thoroughfares, while family-named routes such as Leroy Paulson Rd, Wadsley Ave, and Voss Ave provide essential connections between farmsteads in this productive rural corridor.
