1952 Map of Newark

About this map

Newark serves as the industrial and social hub of this mid-century Wayne County landscape, where the Erie Canal and the New York Central Railroad run in parallel through the center of town. The presence of the expansive Newark State School campus and the Rose Gardens south of the canal reflect the community's institutional and local character during the early 1950s. Surrounding the urban center, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Ganargua Creek and Mud Creek, which supported early milling sites like Mud Mills.
