1943 Map of Erieville

About this map

New Woodstock and Erieville anchor this rural Madison County landscape during the early 1940s, a period when the Lehigh Valley railroad still shaped local commerce and transit. The map reveals a highly structured rural society, marked by numerous small rural schools like School No 1 and Wibert Sch, and religious or cultural enclaves such as the Quaker Settlement in the south. The terrain is defined by significant ridges like Kinney Hill and Hunt Hill, which dictate the paths of the many watercourses including Tioughnioga Creek and Limestone Creek. This survey captures the region just before post-war modernization began to consolidate these smaller districts and settlements, preserving the exact locations of family-named landmarks like S. Allard Cem and the small whistle-stop at Delphi Sta.
