1943 Map of Newark

About this map

The Barge Canal and the legacy of the Abd Erie Canal dominate this industrial and agricultural corridor between Newark and Lyons during the early 1940s. The landscape is a complex network of transportation, where the New York Central RR and Pennsylvania RR intersect with historic water routes. Significant local institutions are prominently mapped, including the sprawling grounds of the Newark State School and the County Home. Smaller settlements like Fairville Sta, Mud Mills, and Hydesville appear alongside a dense distribution of numbered rural schools such as School No 13 and School No 22. The terrain is characterized by the drumlins of Wayne County, notably Silver Hill, while cultural landmarks like the Lyons Rural Cem and the Airway Beacon near the local Airport reflect the era's infrastructure.
