2012 Map of Newark

About this map

Newark anchors the northern reaches of this rural Missouri landscape, where the South Fabius River and Little Fabius River converge amid a complex network of tributaries. The map documents a classic Midwestern agricultural pattern, with the small settlements of Elgin and Steffenville serving as outlying nodes connected by a grid of county and Shelby roads. A notable geographic detail is the Old Channel South Fabius River, which traces the former path of the waterway before natural or engineered shifts altered its course. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the clear marking of the Newark Cemetery and Nelson Cemetery, while watercourses like Tiger Fork, Looney Creek, and Jones Branch define the drainage of the surrounding farmland. The presence of named thoroughfares such as Million St and Mercy St provides specific street-level detail within the village of Newark during this early 21st-century period.
