1949 Map of Brisben

About this map

The Chenango River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and transit in this late 1940s landscape, where the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad tracks run parallel to an Abandoned Canal. The topography is defined by prominent peaks like Harbor Hill and Bobell Hill, with rural life concentrated around small hubs such as Brisben and Coventry. Genealogists will find notable value in the local landmarks, including School No 13, the Little White Ch, and several burial grounds like White Cem. This era shows a network of named roads, including Hogsback Rd and Clark Road, weaving between agricultural plots and water features such as Borden Pond and Van Valkenburgh Pond, illustrating a well-established rural economy in Chenango County.
