1943 Map of Milford

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Susquehanna River valley defines the character of this central Otsego County landscape during the early 1940s. The river's winding course is shadowed by the Delaware and Hudson railroad and highway network, connecting established valley settlements like Milford and Portlandville. In the upland reaches, smaller hamlets and rural schoolhouses such as School No 2 and School No 3 suggest a community structure still largely tied to the terrain, with several family-named burial grounds like Waters Cem and Platt Cem marking early homesteads. Dramatic elevation shifts are recorded between the low riverbanks and the heights of Crumhorn Mountain, where Crumhorn Lake sits perched above the valley floor. To the south, the expansion of the river into Goodyear Lake at Cliffside illustrates the managed hydrology of the era, while the eastern edge of the survey captures the convergence of the Schenevus Creek valley near Maryland.
