1946 Map of Canastota

About this map

The transit corridor of Canastota and Chittenango dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape shaped by water and rail. The northern reaches show a complex drainage network involving the Old Erie Canal, the West Shore Canal, and the Barge Canal Feeder, while the New York Central (4 Tracks) provides a heavy-duty industrial spine for the region. These engineering feats contrast with the rugged southern elevations of Lincoln and Fenner, where local life is anchored by rural landmarks like the Cottons Sch and the Oak Hill Sch.
