1989 Map of Newton

Beyond the urban core, the map reveals the agricultural transition toward smaller communities such as Walton and McLains. The terrain is drained by the meandering paths of Sand Creek, Mud Creek, and the forks of Jester Creek, which contrast with the straight-line precision of modern infrastructure like the Newton City-County Airport and various pipelines. For genealogists, the map provides exact locations for Greenwood Cemetery and St Marys Cemetery, as well as numerous neighborhood schools such as McKinley School and Cooper School.
