1979 Map of Newell West

About this map

The North Raccoon River carves a winding path through the center of this rural Iowa landscape, marking a distinct boundary between the cultivated uplands and the river valley. The town of Newell sits at the northeastern corner, a hub defined by the Illinois Central Gulf railroad line, while the community of Nemaha serves the southern region along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific tracks. This 1970s survey illustrates a landscape deeply tied to agricultural science and education, evidenced by the Iowa State University Allee Experimental Farm. Local civic life is anchored by features like the Crestland Community Sch and the small settlement of Sulphur Springs. These patterns of rail-aligned towns and institutional farms reveal the structured development of Buena Vista and Sac counties during this era.
