1961 Map of Castle Creek

About this map

The Chenango River valley anchors this early 1960s landscape, serving as a corridor for settlement and industry as it flows past Hillcrest and Port Dickinson. This survey captures a transitional period for the region, balancing traditional rural features like the Maple Grove Cem and Lilly Cem with mid-century infrastructure. The arrival of the Broome County Airport and the establishment of the County Technical Community College reflect the modernization of the Broome County area. Further south, the urban edge of Johnson City appears with dense street grids and landmarks such as the Ely Park Golf Course and Calvary Cemetery. Smaller hamlets like New Ireland and Castle Creek remain distinct among the higher terrain of Treadwell Hill and Smith Hill, connected by a winding network of country roads including Houdlum Road and Glen Castle West Chenango Road.
