1969 Map of Newville

About this map

The Seaboard Coast Line railroad dictates the orientation of Newville in the late 1960s, cutting a diagonal path through the Henry County landscape. This agricultural corridor is anchored by the Rosenwall Sch and several community landmarks including Mt Sinai Cem and Rocky Mountain Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries like Sandy Creek and Noles Creek that feed the East Fork Choctawhatchee River in the northwest corner. To the east, smaller settlements like Tumbleton and Danzey appear alongside local aviation markers such as Herrings Airfield and a rural Landing Strip. The map illustrates a traditional Southern landscape where small-town centers and country churches, including Union Springs Ch and New Zion Ch, serve as the primary social hubs between the timbered branches and farm fields.
