1952 Map of Gulf Summit

About this map

The Susquehanna River winds through the western edge of this Broome County landscape, carving a valley that dictated the placement of early settlements and transportation routes. In the early 1950s, the riverside communities of East Windsor, Damascus, and South Windsor remained central to local life, while the steep uplands to the east were defined by peaks like Alexander Hill. The map reveals a distinct division of the terrain, with the high ground populated by small upland ponds including Sky Lake, Deer Lake, and Fly Pond.
