1953 Map of Newtonsville

About this map

Newtonsville serves as the central hub of this Clermont County landscape, where the agricultural uplands of Goshen and Wayne townships meet the carved valleys of Stonelick Creek. The 1953 survey captures the area just after the establishment of the Stonelick Lake State Reserve, showing the newly formed Stonelick Lake and the surrounding woodlands of Woodland Park. A network of rural hamlets including Edenton, Modest, and Lerado are connected by established pikes and roads like Woodville Road and Pleasant Plain Road. Small family cemeteries such as Plainview Cem and Hartman Cem, along with the Stonelick Ch, mark the long-standing community centers. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly dissected as tributaries like Brushy Fork and Rocky Run flow toward the East Fork Little Miami River.
