1943 Map of New Berlin North

About this map

The Unadilla River valley serves as the central artery for this 1940s landscape, marking the boundary between Chenango and Otsego counties. The Unadilla Valley River railroad follows the water's edge, connecting rural outposts like South Edmeston and the northern fringes of New Berlin. This era shows a distributed network of family-named corners and crossroads, including Millers Corners, Lamus Corners, and Briggs Corners, which indicate a well-established agrarian society centered on local landmarks rather than urban clusters.
