1956 Map of Newark Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Newark Valley serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey of Tioga County, where the valley floor of Owego Creek transitions into the dissected uplands of Irish Hill and Markham Hill. The landscape reveals a post-war rural economy defined by hilltop dairy farms and valley-bottom transportation corridors. The Lehigh Valley and Mc Lean Valley RR tracks trace the lower elevations, connecting smaller hamlets like Weltonville and Flemingsville to larger regional markets. Cultural landmarks of the era are well-documented, from the St Johns Ch and its neighboring St Johns Cem to the East Beecher Hill Community Club. Localized water features like Holden Pond and Little Nanticoke Creek punctuate the ridges, while numerous small cemeteries such as Pleasant Valley Cem provide essential data for genealogical research into the families who settled these Tioga County hollows.
