1964 Map of Stewart

About this map

The confluence of the South River, Yellow River, and Alcovy River defines this landscape in the mid-1960s, where the waters merge into the northern reaches of Jackson Lake. This area along the Newton and Jasper County line reveals a transition from traditional rural settlements like Stewart and Newton Factory toward recreational and institutional land use. Evidence of this shift is visible in the presence of the Boy Scout Camp, the FFA and FHA Camp on the lake's banks, and several residential developments such as Alcovy Shores.
