1952 Map of Newville

About this map

Newville serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey, situated at the confluence of the Pennsylvania railroad line and the winding Conodoguinet Creek. The landscape transition is stark, moving from the forested heights of Blue Mountain in the north through the agricultural valleys of Lower Mifflin and Newton townships. The map documents a dense network of local education and faith, featuring numerous rural schoolhouses like the Gillespie School and Oak Flat School, alongside established congregations at Bethany Church and Zion Church.
