About this map

Erieville and the surrounding highlands of Madison County appear in this 1943 survey, capturing the agricultural and rail character of the region during the mid-twentieth century. The Lehigh Valley railroad cuts through the western portion of the map, serving small hubs like New Woodstock and Delphi Sta. This transit corridor shaped the development of local dairy farming and commerce in the valley of Limestone Creek.

Highland areas such as Hunt Hill and Muller Hill overlook a network of rural schoolhouses and family settlements, including Quaker Settlement and the crossroads at Sheds. The northeastern corner is dominated by Tuscarora Lake, a prominent water feature near the village of Erieville. Researchers can trace the original locations of local landmarks like the Allard Cem and Wilbert Sch, documenting the distribution of community institutions across the townships of Cazenovia, Nelson, De Ruyter, and Georgetown.
