About this map

Clayville and Cassville sit as primary hubs along the valley of Sauquoit Creek, where the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad dictates the local industrial corridor during the early 1940s. This survey, conducted by the Army Corps of Engineers and the USGS, documents a landscape of rolling dairy country and steep ridges defined by Tassel Hill and Hardscrabble Hill.

Rural infrastructure is exceptionally well-preserved on this sheet, featuring numerous named crossroads like McConnell Corners and Hobin Corners, alongside local institutions such as Tophet Sch and the Budlong Cem. To the southwest, the village of Waterville anchors the headwaters of Big Creek, while the Sangerfield River marks the southern agricultural flats. The inclusion of the Sheepskin Hollow Reservoir and multiple local schools reflects the developed social and utility network of Oneida County at the height of the war era.
