1971 Map of Newark

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural landmarks, including the Millington Newark Cem and the Bushnell School. The map captures the meeting point of La Salle Co and Kendall Co, anchored by the established villages of Newark and Lisbon. Numerous gravel pits scattered near the river illustrate the local extractive industry that shaped the economy alongside traditional farming. North of the river, Silver Springs State Park provides a preserved contrast to the surrounding productive lands.
