1912 Map of New Berlin

About this map

The Unadilla River forms a central spine through this Central New York landscape, carving a valley that dictated the placement of rail lines and early crossroads. In the years before major highway expansion, the New York Ontario and Western RR followed the western bank of the river, connecting rural hubs like South New Berlin and the village of New Berlin. The upland terrain is dotted with small, family-centric settlements and educational landmarks such as East Hill School and Dimmick Hollow School, reflecting a period of localized agricultural commerce.
