1949 Map of Lisle

About this map

Lisle sits at the confluence of Dudley Creek and the Tioughnioga River, anchoring a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep creek valleys in northern Broome County. This mid-century survey captures the region's historical transport corridor along the Catskill Turnpike, which follows the Dudley Creek valley through Center Lisle and Manningville. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is marked by the industrial presence of the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR, which runs parallel to the river. Further south, the terrain transitions into the drainage basins of Nanticoke Creek and its tributaries, including the Ketchumville Branch. Small upland settlements like Ketchumville and Glen Aubrey remain connected by a network of rural roads such as Telman Road and Davis Hollow Road, reflecting a distributed agricultural and timber-reliant economy typical of the Southern Tier during this era.
