About this map

Oneida Creek carves a deep valley through this mid-century landscape, anchoring a series of small settlements and transportation corridors. The village of Munnsville sits at the heart of this corridor, served by the New York Ontario and Western RR, which runs parallel to the creek. The map reveals the legacy of 19th-century infrastructure with the clearly marked Chenango Canal (Abandoned) passing through Solsville and Bouckville.

Upland from the valley, the terrain rises toward Crow Hill and Johnnycake Hill, where rural life is documented through numerous named crossroads like Newell Corners and Whites Corners. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data points, including Hillcrest Cem, Barker Cem, and various district schools like School No 11. The presence of the Colgate Airport near the southern boundary highlights the shift toward modern aviation alongside the aging rail and canal systems.
