2020 Map of Newville

About this map

Newville and the northern reaches of Headland anchor this part of Henry County, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of several critical Gulf-bound drainage systems. The terrain transitions between the East Fork Choctawhatchee River and the West Fork Choctawhatchee River, with numerous small tributaries like Hodges Mathis Mill Cr and Spivey Mill Cr carving the landscape. For local historians, the distribution of rural cemeteries such as Union Springs Cem and Oaky Grove Cem provides a map of early family settlement patterns across the townships. Smaller crossroads communities like Tumbleton and Capps show the enduring nature of these agricultural hubs, while the proximity of Griffin Pond and Lake Mila highlights the localized water features that served the region's farms and homesteads.
