About this map

The intersection of agriculture and industry is evident across the township boundaries of New Milford, Harford, and Gibson. Numerous quarries, such as those flanking Mott Hill and Jones Hill, underscore the area's extractive economy during the late 20th century. Local landmarks like the Fairgrounds near the center of Harford and Sweet Chapel to the northwest reflect the social and spiritual hubs of these rural communities.

Waterways like Nine Partners Creek and Butler Creek drain the undulating landscape, which is dotted with dozens of small lakes and ponds, including the prominent Page Lake. Settlement patterns remain focused on traditional crossroads, seen at Moxley Corners and Kentuck Corners, while larger hubs like New Milford and Gibson show more concentrated development along the primary road networks. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Peck Cem and other small burial grounds nestled among the family-named hills.
