About this map

Newton serves as the focal point of this Jasper County landscape, situated along the banks of the Embarras River in the northeastern corner. The town’s grid is well-established, surrounded by several historically significant burial grounds including Riverside Cem and West Lawn Cem. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of township roads and a series of creek systems that drain toward the south and east, including Richland Cr and Hurricane Cr.

Smaller settlements and rural landmarks provide significant detail for genealogical research. The village of Bogota sits in the southwest, while the area around Pleasant Ridge and its namesake Pleasant Ridge Cem marks the central terrain. Other notable sites like Cummins Cem, Honey Cem, and Vanderhoof Cem are scattered across the section lines, alongside the Jasper County Flying Club Airport, reflecting the area's mix of agricultural heritage and early 21st-century infrastructure.
