1951 Map of Antwerp

About this map

The village of Antwerp serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey, situated at a junction of the New York Central Railroad and the winding Indian River. This landscape is heavily defined by the presence of the Pine Camp Military Reservation, with its boundaries cutting across the terrain and enclosing facilities like a Rifle Range. Rural infrastructure from an earlier era is still visible through the inclusion of School No 3 and School No 15, as well as the Hillside Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the regional drainage basin, including Matoon Creek and Cold Creek, while historic transit routes like the Russell Turnpike Road and Nauvoo Road reveal the established patterns of travel in northern Jefferson County before modern highway expansion.
