About this map

New Woodstock and Erieville anchor this mid-century portrait of southern Madison County, where the dairy-rich uplands meet the headwaters of several major watersheds. The Lehigh Valley railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, serving Delphi Station and the cluster of activity at Sheds. Near the southern border, the Quaker Settlement reflects the area's early religious history, situated among the steep ridges of Hunt Hill and Mutter Hill.

The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with the Tioughnioga River East Branch and Otselic Creek carving valleys that dictated the placement of historic routes like the Skaneateles Turnpike and Dugway Road. Local infrastructure is well-preserved here, including small educational outposts like Wilbert Sch and School No 7, alongside the quiet grounds of the Allard Cem, providing a detailed view of the rural social fabric before modern consolidation.
