1943 Map of Morris

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Butternut Creek carves through this mid-century landscape of Otsego County, anchoring the village of Morris and several smaller upland settlements. The area shows a mature rural infrastructure of the early 1940s, where traditional watercourses like Wharton Creek and Stony Creek dictated the placement of hamlets such as New Lisbon and West Laurens. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Hillington Cemetery, Chapin Cem, and the uniquely named Bennett Weatherly Cem. To the east, the established Gilbert Lake State Park features the Lookout Tower and Duck Pond, reflecting the era's focus on conservation and public recreation. The presence of numerous numbered schoolhouses, such as School No 9, alongside small crossroads like Naylor Corners, illustrates a decentralized local society before the widespread consolidation of rural districts.
