1950 Map of Binghamton

About this map

The Susquehanna River and Mohawk River valleys define this mid-century portrait of Central New York and the Northern Catskills. Centered on the industrial hub of Binghamton, the landscape is a complex network of river-cut valleys and upland plateaus. To the east, the Catskill Mountains rise sharply, dominated by peaks like Hunter Mt and Slide Mt. The map captures the region during a major period of hydraulic engineering, showing the Cannonsville Reservoir and Pepacton Reservoir along the branches of the Delaware River.
