2019 Map of Newburg

About this map

Newburg and Mckinney anchor the southern landscape where the Cumberland Valley begins its ascent into the ridges of the Appalachians. This terrain is defined by the high crests of Amberson Ridge and Blue Mountain, separated by deep gaps like First Narrows and Second Narrows. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Conodoguinet Creek and its many tributaries, including Peebles Run and Bore Mill Run, carving through the limestone valley floor. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding local burial sites, documenting the Newburg Church of God Cem, the Zion Reformed Church Graveyard, and family-named plots such as the Hoover-Bert Cem. The northern portion of the map transitions into more isolated hollows like Wasp Hollow and Three Square Hollow, showing the intersection of agricultural valley life and the forested slopes of the Perry County line.
