1910 Map of New Berlin

About this map

The Unadilla River and Chenango River valleys define this 1910 landscape, where the N Y O & W R R rail line connects the bustling hub of New Berlin with smaller outposts like South New Berlin and Holmesville. The uplands between these river systems are dotted with high-elevation landmarks such as Flagpole Hill and Shacktown Mountain, alongside essential social centers like Columbus Hill Church and the East Hill School. Local history is captured in the numerous named crossroads, including Sages Corners and Millers Corners, which were vital hubs for the surrounding farming communities. From the recreation area around Chenango Lake to the industrial utility of the New York Ontario and Western railroad, this survey documents the infrastructure of central New York before the dominance of modern highways.
