1909 Map of Newark

Beyond the urban center, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural school districts and small parishes. Numerous local landmarks such as Miles Chapel, Trapp School, and Wild Cherry School illustrate the dispersed nature of these upland communities. The map also records early infrastructure like the Staden Bridge crossing the Licking River, and distinctive natural points such as Rain Rock and Bald Knob, which provided essential orientation for residents of Madison and Mary Ann townships.
