1945 Map of Forestport

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Black River corridor defines the landscape of this 1945 survey, where the river's flow is managed by the Forestport Reservoir and the expansive Kayuta Lake. In this era, the New York Central railroad serves as the primary backbone of the region, connecting the village of Forestport with outlying points like Alder Creek Sta. The map reveals a community structured around rural industry and faith, evidenced by landmarks such as Bardwell Mill and the French Road Ch. Local education is anchored by School No 18, while several cemeteries including Brooks Cem and the Catholic Cem provide valuable touchpoints for family historians. The surrounding terrain transitions into the dense woods of the Forestport area, marked by numerous water bodies like Woodhull Creek and the remote Tamarack Swamp.
