2024 Map of Newark

About this map

The Fox River cuts a prominent diagonal through this landscape, anchoring the historical river settlements of Millington, Millbrook, and Millhurst. This area, situated along the border of LaSalle and Kendall counties, reflects a deep-rooted agricultural and rural heritage centered around the Newark village. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies several local burial grounds including Mound Cem, Darnell Cem, and the Millington Newark Cem near the riverbanks. To the east, the terrain opens into the Big Grove area, where West Aux Sable Creek and Lisbon Creek drain the fertile plains. Away from the primary settlements, landmarks like Cushing Field Ltd and the Helmar Lutheran Cem offer specific points of interest for local historians tracking the development of these prairie townships.
