1955 Map of Fulton

About this map

The Oswego River and the adjacent Canal define the industrial and navigational spine of this mid-1950s landscape, flanked by the growing city of Fulton. This period reveals a densely organized urban center where numerous educational institutions like High Sch and State St Sch serve the residential blocks east of Lake Neatahwanta. The western bank is largely characterized by agrarian terrain and small settlements such as Granby Center and Dexterville, while the New York Central and New York Ontario and Western railroads track the river’s path, signaling the era's reliance on rail transport for regional commerce.
