1943 Map of Millers Mills

About this map

Millers Mills and the surrounding dairy country of Herkimer County appear here at a time when rural life was still defined by small schoolhouse districts and precise corner settlements. The landscape is deeply carved by glacial geology, most notably the steep Gorge and the winding Polly Miller Gulf, which dictated the early road network through Litchfield and Columbia. This 1943 survey shows the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad cutting across the southern portion of the sheet, connecting agricultural hubs like Cedarville Station to larger regional markets.
