About this map

New Haven serves as the focal point of this 1943 survey, which reveals a landscape of family farms and rural crossroads during the early years of the war. The geography is defined by the New York Central Railroad corridor and the expansive wetlands of the Lilly Marsh. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from the Dempster Grove Camp Ground to numerous district schoolhouses like School No 5 and School No 11.

The presence of numerous family-named intersections such as Sayles Corners, Johnston Corners, and Mungers Cors reflects the long-standing agricultural settlement patterns of Oswego County. These points of interest are often anchored by local burial grounds, including the Vermillion Cem and Carr Cem. The drainage of the land is meticulously mapped through Catfish Creek and its tributaries, while the southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the transition into the town of Volney.
