1947 Map of Hartford

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Hartford and the village of South Hartford anchor this 1947 topographic study of Washington County, showing a landscape defined by the drainage of Big Creek and Moses Kill. The northwestern corner is dominated by the Barge Canal near Smiths Basin, a critical piece of New York transportation infrastructure. Moving eastward, the terrain transitions from the lowlands of Tamarack Swamp into the high ground of Black Mtn and Mt Rascal. The map reveals a dense network of local roads connecting small hamlets such as Adamsville, where the Adamsville Cem is a notable landmark for genealogical research. Other rural focal points include the Salem Sch and the community of The Hook. The settlement pattern follows the contours of the hills and the winding paths of Gettys Brook, illustrating a mid-century agricultural region before the expansion of modern highway systems.
