1943 Map of Brewerton

About this map

The Oneida River and Oswego Canal define the industrial and transit character of this Central New York landscape during the early 1940s. Centered on the village of Brewerton, the map illustrates a complex network of waterways where the Barge Canal intersects with natural river courses, supported by infrastructure like Lock 23 and the Schroeppel Bridge. The region is a mix of small agricultural hamlets and growing suburban outskirts, featuring numerous named rural schools such as Becker Sch, Sand Ridge Sch, and the uniquely named Mud Mill Sch.
