About this map

The Otselic River valley defines the character of this 1943 landscape, serving as the primary corridor for commerce and travel between Cincinnatus and Lower Cincinnatus. The Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad snakes through the terrain from East Freetown, highlighting the importance of rail connectivity for the rural farming communities of Freetown and Taylor.

Rural education is represented by a dense network of local schools including Fish Sch, Mudge Sch, and West Hill Sch, which reflect a decentralized pattern of life in the mid-20th century. Rugged hills like Mount Roderick and Dutch Hill frame the agricultural valleys, while smaller family landmarks such as Hawley Cem and Leope Cem provide essential data points for genealogical research into the families who inhabited the hillsides of Taylor Valley.
