1969 Map of Newark Valley

About this map

The Newark Valley area is defined by the prominent course of the East Branch Owego Creek, where the valley floor hosts the primary concentration of settlement and industry. In this 1969 survey, the Lehigh Valley railroad line parallels the creek, threading through the village and connecting smaller outposts like Flemingville. The surrounding uplands are marked by numerous family-named peaks such as Prentice Hill and Courtright Hill, illustrating a landscape where agricultural clearings meet expanding woodland tracts. Significant public lands are visible at the eastern edge, including the Oakley Corners State Forest and a portion of Ketchumville State Forest. Local community life is rooted in sites like St Johns Ch, the Central Hall Sch, and the East Beecher Hill Community Club, while the area's history is preserved in quiet grounds like Hope Cem and St Johns Cem.
