Hi Alex, It may just be me being slow, but it's not entirely clear what you're trying to accomplish here. As best I can tell the two images are at very very different scales. Are you trying to georeference the Newark close-up onto the Newark-area map?
I believe using a transformation Type of Polynomial 1 should minimise the types of warping that's happening (assuming you don't want any to happen). Maybe the points you're trying to reference on the map aren't actually correct? More information about what you're trying to accomplish may help someone offer a suggestion/solution.

I am new to the GIS topic and also new to QGIS. My problems seemed to be very easy, but with my last try I was then running completely wrong and I hope you can help me since I thought I have done everything correctly. I have added 2 pictures as example (KEWR_AFC.png, KEWR_AGC.png)(originally its a .tiff, but does not matter for this test). On the KEWR_AGC I have drawn the grid lines to make it easier to set some coordinates. Be aware that I made an error on the right side and one gridline is wrong. But for this example and the test it should not matter if its known. Also there is a Reference point in the middle of the chart as confirmation that everything is ok after georeferencing. On the KEWR_AFC there are a lot of Points already defined with coordinates which can be used to georeference the .png. I have now tried everything but the result was tilted and shifted in such a way, that it was unreadable or completely unusable because the coordinates have been wrong. Is it because of the variation? Or wrong KGS? I had - depending on the choses options - red lines indicating the tilt/shift with extremely movements... So can anybody help me how I have to georeference (especially the AGC), that it is correct? <http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/file/n5166955/KEWR_AGC.png> <http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/file/n5166955/KEWR_AFC.png> Thanks a lot already for help in advance!
