1949 Map of North Wilna

About this map

The Fort Drum Military Reservation dominates this northern New York landscape, showing a complex intersection of military training grounds and established rural settlements during the mid-century. The Indian River winds through the northern portion of the map, passing Woods Mill and Lewisburg as it cuts through the terrain. The area is marked by a network of historic thoroughfares, including the Russell Turnpike and Hogsback Road, which connected dispersed communities like North Wilna and North Croghan.
