1969 Map of Newark Valley

About this map

Newark Valley sits at the confluence of the West Branch Owego Creek and the East Branch Owego Creek, serving as the primary hub for this Tioga County landscape in the late 1960s. The village is anchored by the Central Sch and several religious landmarks, including St Johns Ch and the nearby St Johns Cem. The Lehigh Valley railroad line parallels the main waterway, tracing the valley floor south toward Flemingville, while the surrounding uplands are defined by ridges like Prentice Hill and Dean Hill. These hills are dotted with small rural outposts like West Newark and Weltonville. Large tracts of the eastern terrain are preserved as the Oakley Corners State Forest, where the topography becomes more complex with features such as Alexander Lake and the Holder Pond headwaters.
