1960 Map of New Lebanon

About this map

French Creek carves a deep valley through the northern landscape of this region, providing a natural corridor for the Erie-Lackawanna railroad as it passes through the small settlement of Carlton. The area is characterized by a network of scattered rural communities including Milledgeville, New Lebanon, and New Vernon, each serving as local centers for the surrounding farmsteads. Genealogists will find significant local history preserved at sites like Milledgeville Cem, New Lebanon Cem, and the Boyd Cem. The presence of several country houses of worship, such as Deer Creek Ch and Fairfield Ch, reflects the community structure of the mid-20th century. To the south, the terrain descends toward Sandy Lake, while infrastructure like a Gas Well and an Airway Beacon points to the industrial and navigational needs of the era.
