1942 Map of Binghamton West

About this map

The Susquehanna River and Chenango River converge near the heart of this urban and rural landscape, framing the industrial and residential core of the region during the early 1940s. The dense city grid, centered around the Court House and Post Office, gives way to the prominent ridges of South Mountain and Ingraham Hill to the south. Transportation is defined by the heavy rail presence of the Erie RR and the D L & W RR, which follow the river valleys and support the growing settlements of Westover and Stella. Moving away from the river, the terrain rises sharply toward Table Rock Ridge, where rural life is anchored by local institutions like the Ingraham Hill Sch and Grove Sch. Notable landmarks including the Childrens Home and Binghamton Hospital sit alongside extensive burial grounds such as Floral Park Cemetery, reflecting the established social fabric of the era.
