About this map

The Mettawee River winds through this 1944 survey, serving as the primary geographic corridor for a cluster of rural settlements including Middle Granville, Truthville, and North Granville. The landscape is defined by its agricultural character and the presence of the Delaware and Hudson railroad, which parallels the river and connects the larger village of Granville to the surrounding hills. This transit network supported the local slate industry, though the map focuses on the residential and civic structure of the mid-1940s.

Several one-room schoolhouses, such as School No 14 and School No 18, remain distributed across the town of Granville, highlighting the era's localized educational pattern. Notable landmarks including The Pinnacle and Elmwood Cem provide fixed points for genealogists tracing family roots in Washington County. The boundary between New York and Vermont is clearly delineated along the eastern edge, showing the close relationship between border towns like New Boston.
