1943 Map of East Pharsalia

About this map

North Pharsalia and East Pharsalia anchor this rural Chenango County landscape as it appeared during the early 1940s. The region is defined by its network of high-elevation headwaters and small settlements, where upland farming and timber harvesting supported the local economy. Significant landmarks such as Berry Hill and the Pharsalia Game Refuge dominate the northern terrain, while a series of numbered district schools, including School No 10 and School No 1, reflect a decentralized rural education system typical of the era. Genealogists can locate several small family burial grounds like Frink Cem and Lewis Cem scattered along the winding roads. The map also traces several important waterways like Canasawacta Creek and Genegantslet Creek, which drain these hills. The presence of the Plymouth Reservoir and isolated basins like Steer Pond highlights the importance of water management in this high-altitude dairy-farming belt.
