About this map

The village of Newark serves as the focal point for this survey of Wayne County, where the legacy of nineteenth-century transportation meets contemporary agriculture. The path of the Old Erie Canal remains a prominent fixture of the landscape, widening into the aptly named The Wide Waters west of the village center. This waterway, historically vital to the region's development, is complemented by the winding course of Ganargua Cr.

North of the main settlement, the land is defined by a dense network of specialized agriculture, featuring several named holdings such as Peacework Organic Farm, Crowfield Farm, and Lehigh Farms. Local history is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including the Newark Cem, Fairville Cem, and the Old Houser Cem. In the northeast, the Lyons Rural Cem sits near the banks of Butternut Run, while smaller family-named landmarks like Bailey Hill and Silver Hill rise above the surrounding fields near Marbletown.
