About this map

Paris Station serves as a central point in this mid-century portrait of southern Oneida County, where the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR cuts a path through the rolling hills of Marshall and Paris. The map reveals a dense network of local hamlets and crossroads, including McConnell Corners, Peck Corners, and Hubbard Corners, reflecting a deeply settled rural landscape during the war years. Education and community life are marked by the Sauquoit Valley Central School and smaller landmarks like the Tophet Schoolhouse.

Elevated terrain such as Tassel Hill and Mount Hunger defines the drainage patterns of Turkey Creek and the Beaver River. The presence of the Budlong Cem and Eastman Cem offers valuable data for genealogists tracing family roots in towns like Clayville and Waterville. This survey, compiled from 1942 photography, captures the transition of the region’s agricultural and industrial layout before post-war developments altered the character of these valley settlements.
