1955 Map of Fulton

About this map

The Oswego River serves as the industrial and geographic spine of this mid-century portrait of Fulton, where the city's dense street grid is anchored by a remarkable concentration of neighborhood schools, including Walradt St Sch, Phillips St Sch, and State St Sch. To the west, the expansive Lake Neatahwanta provides a natural boundary for the city, featuring Stevenson Beach and the municipal Waterworks. The surrounding landscape of Granby and Volney is defined by a traditional rural economy of crossroad hamlets like Lewis Corners and Bowens Corners. Local transport networks are heavily represented by the Delaware Lackawanna and Western and New York Central railroads, which parallel the river and canal. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous rural schoolhouses, such as School No 12 and School No 14, alongside established burial grounds like St Marys Cemetery.
