1962 Map of Newark

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Plymouth and Newark townships spans the Wisconsin-Illinois state line in this early 1960s study, later updated with early 1970s photogrammetric data. The village of Orfordville sits in the northwest corner, served by the C&NW railroad. Rural life is anchored by family-named landmarks and local institutions, such as Luther Valley Ch, Fisher Sch, and Pleasant Hill Sch. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Raccoon Creek, which flows southeast toward a Mill Pond and a County Park near the state border. Numerous Gravel Pits and Quarries dot the hillsides, indicating a local economy tied to the land's natural resources. This period captures the region's transition as a Girl Scout Camp and several cemeteries, including Maple Grove Cem, preserve the community's genealogy and social history.
