2010 Map of New Holland

About this map

The village of New Holland and the surrounding agricultural landscape define this area of Fayette County during the first decade of the 21st century. The map highlights several small settlements and rural crossroads, including Pancoastburg, Manara, and Johnson. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of drainage ditches and streams such as Compton Creek and North Fork Paint Creek, which weave between the rectilinear grid of local roads like Bloomingburg New Holland Rd and Washington Waterloo Rd NE. Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous family-named burial grounds, including the Lloyd Cemetery, Rowe Cemetery, and the Britton Chaffin Cemetery. This period of the landscape shows the continued importance of the New Holland Post Office as a local hub, while the presence of Deer Creek Lake in the northeast corner indicates the managed water resources of the region.
