About this map

The Oswego River and its parallel Canal anchor this mid-century portrait of a manufacturing and transit hub in central New York. In Fulton, a dense concentration of local institutions is evident, including the High Sch, City Hall, and several neighborhood elementary buildings like the State St Sch and Oak St Sch. The industrial and logistics footprint is marked by the crossing of the New York Central and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroads, which served the city's mills and the nearby Fulton Municipal Airport.

Outside the city core, the landscape transitions to the rural townships of Granby and Volney, where small crossroads like Lewis Corners and Bowens Corners maintain their identity. Significant recreational and natural features include Lake Neatahwanta and the riverside Battle Island State Park. Local history is preserved in the detailed mapping of numerous rural schoolhouses, such as School No 12 and School No 1, and prominent burial grounds like Mt Adnah Cemetery.
