1954 Map of Duanesburg

About this map

Florida and Duanesburg townships meet along the ridge of McKinney Hill, where a dense network of country roads connects family-named cemeteries and rural crossroads. The mid-century landscape is defined by its water management and early aviation, featuring the Duanesburg Res and Delanson Reservoir, alongside Sky Haven Airport south of the Delaware And Hudson rail lines. This 1954 field-checked survey reveals a territory transitioning from its deep agricultural roots to a modern infrastructure, while maintaining historic community centers like Scotch Bush and Braman Corners. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous precisely located burial grounds, such as the Feydendall Cem and Stewart Cem, which anchor the map's historical geography. The settlement at Mariaville overlooks Mariaville Lake, while the village of Delanson serves as a local hub near the southern border.
