1952 Map of Newville

About this map

Conodoguinet Creek and Yellow Breeches Creek wind through this mid-century landscape, framing the valley around Newville. The area shows a mature agricultural and transport network during the early 1950s, where the high-speed Pennsylvania Turnpike cuts across established townships like West Pennsboro and Upper Frankford. Local life centers on numerous country schools and churches, including Zion Ch and the Dickinson Township School, while the Reading Railroad provides a critical industrial link for smaller settlements such as Oakville and Huntsdale.
