2018 Map of Newell East

About this map

Newell anchors the northwest corner of this agricultural landscape, where the town limits meet a grid of section lines and rural homesteads. The terrain is defined by the wandering path of Prairie Cr and the engineered precision of Drainage Ditch Number 20, reflecting the long-standing efforts to manage the wetlands of Northwest Iowa for cultivation. Local history is preserved at the Newell Cem near the town center and the Cooke Cem further east, which sits adjacent to the First M E Church. The map illustrates a strictly organized rural infrastructure, with roads like Co Rd D15 and Ridge Out cutting through the open country at the intersection of Buena Vista, Pocahontas, Sac, and Calhoun counties.
