About this map

The Susquehanna River defines the western edge of this mid-century survey, winding through Broome County near the Pennsylvania State Line. The landscape is marked by the heavy infrastructure of the era's regional rail network, with the Delaware and Hudson following the river corridor while the Erie railroad traverses the southern terrain through the settlement of Gulf Summit. This community serves as a local focal point, anchored by the Gulf Summit Ch and a nearby cemetery.

Further north, the rural character of the region is evident in the scattered hamlets of East Windsor, Damascus, and South Windsor. These settlements are interspersed with quiet upland water bodies like Sky Lake, Deer Lake, and Fly Pond. Local genealogy is well-represented through family-named landmarks such as Alexander Hill and its associated Alexander Hill Cem, alongside the Edwards Cem near the river, providing a clear record of established resident families in the early 1950s.
