The Flint River runs along the eastern side and has repeatedly flooded Newton. Major events in 1994 and 1998 damaged public buildings, roads, homes, and businesses.
Agriculture, Forests, and Creeks
Peanuts, cotton, corn, livestock, and timber are important. Ichawaynochaway Creek and nearby wetlands connect farmland with wildlife habitat and long-term conservation research.
