2019 Map of Newark Valley

About this map

Newark Valley sits at the confluence of several glacial valleys in Tioga County, where the East Branch Owego Creek and West Branch Owego Creek define the landscape's orientation. The settlement pattern follows these watercourses, with communities like Flemingville and Weltonville established along the valley floors. High ridges like Prentice Hill and Courtright Hill separate these drainages, creating a series of north-south corridors that have dictated local transport for generations. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including West Newark Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Hope Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogical history of these rural townships. Near the southern edge, the West Creek Road Bridge stands as a notable landmark where local infrastructure crosses the winding creek systems that eventually feed the Susquehanna River basin.
