1961 Map of New Point

About this map

The town of New Point serves as a central hub in this early 1960s landscape, situated where the New York Central railroad corridor bisects rural Decatur and Franklin Counties. This survey captures a network of small agricultural crossroads settlements, including St Maurice, Enochsburg, and New Pennington, during a period of transition as modern infrastructure was overlaid upon established farmsteads. South of Rossburg, several Quarries indicate the local extractive industry, while a Covered Bridge east of Enochsburg remains a prominent landmark from an earlier era.
