2010 Map of Newark

About this map

Newark and the surrounding township of Arcadia are defined by the historic corridor of the Erie Canal, which cuts through the heart of the landscape. This 2010 survey illustrates a region where established agricultural heritage persists alongside the central village, evidenced by numerous family-named properties such as Bodine Farm, Lehigh Farms, and Peacework Organic Farm. The drainage of Ganargua Creek and its tributaries like Butternut Run shaped the early industry and settlement patterns of locations like Mud Mills and Hydesville. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly useful for its detailed locations of several community burial grounds, including the Old Houser Cemetery, Fairville Cemetery, and Lyons Rural Cemetery. To the south, the settlement of Marbletown and the rising elevations of Bailey Hill and Jackson Hill mark the transition toward more varied terrain away from the canal valley.
