About this map

Newton and North Newton anchor this Harvey County landscape, where the confluence of modern aviation and historic rail siding defines the local economy. The mapping reflects a period of established infrastructure, featuring the large Newton City-County Airport and the smaller Eightyone Airport situated near the intersection of major transit corridors. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for Greenwood Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery, serving as vital anchors for local family history.

Beyond the primary urban center, the terrain is marked by watercourses like Sand Creek and Beaver Creek, which influenced early development patterns. Outlying points such as Walton, McGraw, and McLains illustrate the distributed nature of the rural community, while the presence of NN Siding and names like Old Trail Rd point to the enduring significance of transportation routes in this Kansas prairie region.
