1961 Map of Cortland

About this map

Mosquito Creek Reservoir dominates the western edge of this early 1960s landscape, providing a sharp contrast to the organized agricultural and residential patterns of Cortland. The town serves as a central hub, where the Christian Ch and Lakeview High Sch sit near the reservoir’s edge. This area, part of the original Connecticut Western Reserve, is marked by numerous crossroads settlements like Kellogg Corners, Sheldon Corners, and Chadwick Corners, reflecting a traditional Midwestern township structure.
