About this map

Newville serves as the primary hub in this Cumberland County landscape, where the waters of Conodoguinet Creek wind through a valley defined by agricultural tradition and long-standing religious institutions. The map documents numerous community centers such as Oakville, Washington, and Heberlig, each anchored by historical burial grounds and congregations. Notable sites include the John Graham Memorial Cem and the Zion Lutheran Church near the town center, while more remote locations like McCrea sit at the foot of Blue Mountain.

The geography is heavily influenced by the valley's hydrology, featuring the headwaters of Big Spring and the drainage of Doubling Gap Creek. These water sources historically dictated the placement of settlements and mills. For genealogists, the map is a detailed record of local heritage, preserving the locations of smaller landmarks like Saint Peter's Upper Frankford Church and the Big Spring United Methodist Cem.
