2014 Map of Newark

About this map

Newark and Steffenville anchor this Northeast Missouri landscape where the borders of Knox, Lewis, and Shelby counties meet. The area is defined by the branching watercourses of the Fabius River system, including the South Fabius River, the Little Fabius River, and the S Fabius River. This drainage network, supplemented by numerous creeks like Tiger Fork and Looney Cr, creates a rolling terrain that has long shaped local property lines and travel routes. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds such as Newark Cemetery near the northern edge of the settlement and Nelson Cemetery to the southwest. The presence of Steffen Lake and the small settlement of Elgin reflect the rural character of the region, while a dense grid of county roads, such as New Creation Rd, provides access to the surrounding timber and agricultural lands across three different townships.
