1944 Map of Earlville
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The Chenango River valley serves as a busy corridor for transit and agriculture during the mid-1940s, anchored by the village of Earlville. Dual rail lines, the New York Ontario and Western RR and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR, parallel the river's course, connecting the valley's dairy and poultry farms to wider markets. The landscape is defined by its transition from the flat river valley into the surrounding uplands, such as Nigger Hill and Steam Sawmill Hill, where numerous small rural schools like School No 1 and School No 3 suggest a decentralized rural population. Local history is deeply embedded in the land through named family and community burial grounds, including Wilcox Cem and Quaker Cem, while the Rogers State Game Farm near Sherburne highlights the state's early conservation efforts in Chenango County.
