2016 Map of Newark Valley

About this map

Newark Valley sits at the confluence of several prominent drainages, where the East Branch Owego Creek and West Branch Owego Creek carve deep valleys through the Southern Tier highlands. This modern topographical survey shows a landscape of clustered hamlets and narrow hollows, connected by a network of rural routes like Wade Hollow Rd and Foster Valley Rd. The area's long-established settlement pattern is evident in its numerous small burial grounds, including Searlestown Cem, Hope Cem, and the remote Settle Cem on the eastern hills. Local landmarks such as the West Creek Road Bridge and named water bodies like Alexander Lake and Holden Pond mark the transition from agricultural valley floors to the high ridges of Prentice Hill and Howard Hill.
