About this map

The Pine Camp Military Reservation dominates this 1949 landscape in Jefferson County, illustrating the significant military footprint in the region following World War II. The sprawling grounds of Pine Camp include Wheeler Sack Field and the site of an abandoned CCC Camp, alongside the industrial and residential pockets along the Black River. River-bound communities like Deferiet, Great Bend, and Herring are tightly integrated with the New York Central rail line, which served the local mills and infrastructure.

Genealogists will find notable local landmarks such as the F W Woolworth Memorial Cemetery and several rural schoolhouses, including School No 14 and School No 8. The map also captures several vanished or transformed crossing points such as Doolins Crossing and Hubbard Crossing. The northern reaches transitions into more agricultural and forested terrain, marked by Strickland Corners, Reedville, and the Pine Plains.
