About this map

Tioughnioga River and the Lehigh Valley rail line dominate the northwest corner of this New York landscape, tracing the valley floor near Cuyler. This wartime survey, completed by the Tennessee Valley Authority for the War Department, reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure including numerous district schools such as Dog Hollow Sch and the curiously named Black Warrior Sch.

Settlements like Lincklaen and Union Valley are connected by a web of named hollow and hill roads, reflecting a mid-century agricultural economy tied to the local terrain. Genealogists can locate family landmarks such as Winne Cem and the Potter Hill Cem, while topographic details like Spicer Falls and Blanchard Hill show the elevation changes that defined the boundaries between Madison, Chenango, and Cortland counties during the 1940s.
