1945 Map of Forestport

About this map

Kayuta Lake and the winding Black River dominate this mid-century portrait of the Adirondack foothills in Oneida County. The landscape is defined by the engineering of the era, where the New York Central railroad corridor parallels the water, serving local hubs like Forestport and Alder Creek. This survey captures the region's transition from a heavy industrial past toward a more recreational and rural character, evidenced by the presence of Bardwell Mill alongside growing lakeside developments.
