2010 Map of Newark Valley

About this map

Newark Valley serves as the central hub of this Tioga County landscape, where the East Branch Owego Creek and West Branch Owego Creek carve distinct valleys through the terrain. The settlement pattern is defined by several smaller hamlets including West Newark, East Newark, and Weltonville, each tied to the local creek systems. For those researching local lineages, the map is particularly dense with burial grounds such as Hope Cemetery, Saint Johns Cemetery, and the Settle Cemetery near the eastern margin. The southern portion of the quadrangle transitions into a more wooded environment, dominated by the Oakley Corners State Forest. Significant water features like Alexander Lake and Holden Pond punctuate the upland areas between the primary creek branches, illustrating the natural drainage that dictated early road placement and property lines.
