2015 Map of Newell West

About this map

Sulphur Springs and Newell anchor the northern landscape of this agricultural region, where the prairie has been meticulously organized into the sections of the Public Land Survey System. The transition between Buena Vista and Sac counties is marked by the path of the North Raccoon River, which meanders southward through the center of the sheet, joined by smaller tributaries like Outlet Cr and Buck Run. The settlement of Nemaha sits near the southern boundary, surrounded by the geometric grid of county roads such as Co HWY m50 and Co HWY m65. This 2015 survey illustrates a rural Iowa landscape defined by its watercourses and the persistent structure of its farming communities, including local landmarks like Pleasant Lake and the Nemaha Cem.
