1941 Map of Jewell

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

Oneida Lake dominates this 1941 survey, which captures the distinct development patterns of its northern and southern shores just before the mid-century. On the northern bank, the hamlet of Jewell sits along New York State Highway No 49, flanked by several distinctive lakefront points such as Nunnery Pt and Godfreys Pt. To the south, the landscape transitions into the agricultural and marshy terrain of Sullivan, where the Barge Canal Route cuts a straight line through the water. This southern shore is densely marked with family-named landmarks and local institutions, from Lakeport Chapel and West School near Lakeport to the rural crossroads of Whitelaw and its namesake Whitelaw Cem. The map provides a clear look at the early resort and residential clusters of Oneida Lake Beach West and Oneida Lake Beach East before the post-war building boom altered these shorelines.
