About this map

Hannibal serves as the central hub of this late-1970s survey, where the intersection of several regional roads anchors a landscape of small agricultural settlements and rural industry. The map illustrates a developed network of hamlets including Hannibal Center, North Hannibal, and South Hannibal, as well as named crossroads like Kinney Corners and Pember Corners. The presence of the Metcalf Siding and a Quarry near the center of the township reflects the area's local economic activity during this era.

Waterways like Ninemile Creek and Eightmile Creek drain the undulating terrain toward the north, while smaller brooks like Harris Hill Brook carve through the southern elevations near Harris Hill. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating family-named cemeteries such as Bethel Cem and Mosher Cem, alongside numerous country schools and churches that defined the social fabric of these Oswego Co and Cayuga Co borderlands.
