1961 Map of Newark

About this map

Ancient earthworks and industrial growth intersect at the confluence of the North Fork Licking River and South Fork Licking River. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling presence of Newark, where significant archaeological sites like the Octagon State Memorial and Moundbuilders State Memorial are preserved amidst a rapidly expanding mid-century urban grid. To the west, the Welsh Hills rise above the valley, dotted with historic markers of early settlement such as the Welsh Hills Ch and the nearby Phillips-White Cem.
