1947 Map of Boonville

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Boonville serves as the primary hub of this 1940s landscape, positioned near the junction of the Black River Canal and several significant waterways. The map illustrates a transitional era for the region's transport, showing the canal's path alongside the Black River and Lansing Kill, south toward the dramatic drop of Boonville Gorge State Park and Pixley Falls. The surrounding rural landscape is densely marked with evidence of early 20th-century community life, including a series of numbered district schools like School No 11 and School No 5, and family-named locations such as Hayes Cem and Sperry Hill. To the south, North Steuben and its namesake North Steuben Ch sit atop the high ground between Cincinnati Creek and the deep gorge, while the Boonville Landing Field represents the emerging aviation infrastructure of the post-war period.
