1973 Map of New Hartford

About this map

New Hartford sits at the convergence of several rural drainages including Indian Creek and Brush Creek in the northeastern corner of Pike County. This early 1970s landscape is defined by its deep network of family cemeteries and country churches, reflecting a long-standing agricultural community. Places of worship such as Siloam Ch, Smyrna Ch, and West Prairie Ch are scattered across the townships of Hartford and Prairie, often located near prominent homestead landmarks like Willis Cem or Ashley Cem. To the south, the village of Marling and the Central Grove Community Center anchor the border near the Pike and Montgomery County line. The map captures the intricate hydraulic pattern of the region, where numerous branches like Wolfpen Branch and Henderson Branch feed into the North Fork Cuivre River, illustrating the rugged terrain that dictated early settlement and road placement.
