1943 Map of Morris

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Butternut Creek carves a deep valley through the heart of this Otsego County landscape, anchoring a network of small upland settlements during the mid-20th century. The village of Morris serves as a primary hub in the southwest, while scattered hamlets like New Lisbon and West Laurens trace the early road patterns of Pittsfield and Laurens townships. The map is particularly notable for its density of family-named burial grounds, including the Bennett-Weatherly Cem, Chapin Cem, and Lull Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. To the east, the recreation-focused lands of Gilbert Lake State Park surround Lake of the Twin Fawns and Gilbert Lake, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding agricultural and timbered hillsides like Gill Hill. Numerous small gravel and shale pits scattered across the terrain suggest a local economy tied to road maintenance and small-scale resource extraction.
