1945 Map of Newville

About this map

The Cumberland Valley agricultural and industrial landscape unfolds around Newville, where the Pennsylvania Turnpike cuts through a dense network of older thoroughfares like the Carlisle Road. This mid-century survey captures a rural economy still defined by local milling and rail transport, featuring sites such as Elliotts Mill and Moors Mill. To the south, the terrain shifts abruptly toward the forested slopes of the South Mountain range, anchored by Pine Grove Furnace and Laurel Forge Pond.
