2013 Map of Newark

About this map

Newark and Heath sit at the confluence of several significant waterways, where the North Fork Licking River, South Fork Licking River, and Raccoon Creek converge to form the Licking River. The landscape is a mix of dense municipal development and specialized cultural sites, including the archaeological significance of the Newark Mounds. In the northwestern portion of the map, the Welsh Hills and Sharon Valley rise above the river plains, housing institutional centers like the Ohio State University-Newark Campus and Central Ohio Technical Coll. For genealogists, the sheet is particularly dense with burial grounds, ranging from large urban sites like Cedar Hill Cem and Mt Calvary Cem to smaller outliers such as Evans Cem, Wilson Cem, and Sanford Cem. The transportation infrastructure is anchored by the Newark-Heath Airport and a grid that transitions into the rural hills of Vanatta and Lloyd Corners.
