2013 Map of Newell West

About this map

The N Raccoon River winds through this agricultural landscape in Buena Vista County, defining the drainage patterns of a region deeply tied to research and cultivation. The presence of the Iowa State University Allee Experimental Farm south of Newell highlights the area's significance to Iowa’s long-standing tradition of agricultural science. To the west, the small community of Nemaha sits at the intersection of Maple St and 157th Ave, while Sulphur Springs marks the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. The terrain is largely defined by a grid of rural section roads and small watercourses such as Buck Run, Outlet Cr, and Prairie Cr. For those interested in public lands, Vogel Access provides a focused point of entry to the river corridor north of 180th St, while Pleasant Lake serves as a distinct hydrological feature in the eastern section of the map.
