1955 Map of Boonville

About this map

Boonville serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the junction of the Black River and several regional transit routes in northern Oneida County. The map details a landscape transitioning from the industrial and agricultural hub of the village to the preserved natural corridors of the Boonville Gorge State Park and various State Reforestation Areas. Notable for genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies specific rural landmarks such as School No 11, Hayes Ch, and the village Fairgrounds. The topography is defined by significant rises like Potato Hill and Jackson Hill, while the valley floors are traced by the Lansing Kill and Millers Brook. Evidence of local infrastructure includes the Boonville Landing Field and a Gaging Sta along the Black River, alongside smaller settlements like Hawkinsville and North Steuben.
