1946 Map of Cossayuna

About this map

Cossayuna Lake anchors this mid-century survey of Washington County, where the landscape is defined by a series of narrow north-south ridges and valleys. The settlement of Cossayuna sits at the southern tip of the lake, while larger villages like Argyle and West Hebron occupy the surrounding uplands. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, including Argyle Cem and South Argyle Cem, along with a network of rural schools such as Rock Hill Sch and Beech Hill Sch. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Batten Kill river valley, followed closely by the Greenwich and Johnsonville rail line. A notable social landmark is the County Farm located west of the main lake, illustrating the civic infrastructure of the era. The terrain transitions from the wetland of Peat Swamp to prominent heights like Murdock Mtn and Barkley Mtn.
