2010 Map of Newton

About this map

Newton serves as the central hub of this Jasper County landscape, showing a detailed urban grid transitioning into the rural Iowa countryside. The settlement of Lambs Grove sits just west of the main city center, nestled near the headwaters of Cherry Creek. This survey captures the region's complex cemetery network, documenting sites of genealogical importance such as the Moffitt Family Cemetery, Sacred Heart Cemetery, and Palo Alto Cemetery. The landscape is defined by its infrastructure and community spaces, from the high-speed curves of the Newton Speedway to the quiet grounds of the Newton Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. The southern reaches of the quadrangle are marked by the winding path of the South Skunk River and the small drainage of Reasnor Creek, illustrating the intersection of the town's industrial growth with the natural prairie waterways.
