1945 Map of Forestport

About this map

Black River and Kayuta Lake dominate this mid-century landscape in Oneida County, where the village of Forestport serves as a central hub for the surrounding rural communities. The map captures a moment when the New York Central railroad was vital to the region, with dedicated stops at Alder Creek Sta and Forestport Sta. The survey provides excellent detail for genealogical research, documenting several local burial grounds such as Brooks Cem and the Catholic Cem, alongside rural landmarks like Bethel Ch and School No 18. A notable aviation feature, the Landing Field, sits near the river's bend, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle transitions into the dense woods of the Forestport region and the Tamarack Swamp. Smaller hamlets like Honnidaga and Alder Creek are connected by a network of local thoroughfares including Dayton Road and Dustin Road.
