1952 Map of Walnut Bottom

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Walnut Bottom and the agricultural valley of North Newton and South Newton are the focus of this mid-century mapping. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the valley floor to the forested slopes of South Mountain, where the Appalachian Trail winds across ridges like Sliding Rock Mountain. The rural character of the era is evidenced by a high density of local schools, including Newton Township Consolidated School, Cherry Grove School, and Spring Hill School, many of which served small crossroads communities such as Lees Cross Roads and Stoughtown.
