2014 Map of Covington

About this map

Covington serves as the focal point of this 2014 survey, where the urban street grid meets the winding course of the Alcovy River. The landscape is a complex mix of established city neighborhoods and a dense network of residential developments such as Settlers Grove, Newton Ridge, and Meadowood Subdivision. Significant for local historians and genealogists, the map identifies numerous small burial grounds including the Confederate Soldiers Cem and the Rakestraw Cem, alongside outlying rural points like Starrsville and Hayston. Small airfields such as Windy Hill Airport and Neely Farms Airport punctuate the terrain, reflecting the modern utility of the land between the watercourses of Dried Indian Cr and Wrights Cr. This document provides a clear look at how the infrastructure of Newton County has expanded around its historical core while maintaining its character through preserved family and community landmarks.
