1944 Map of Norwich

About this map

The Chenango River valley serves as the primary corridor for commerce and travel in this mid-century New York interior, where the New York Ontario and Western and Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroads converge at Norwich. Outside the industrial center, the landscape is defined by the high ground of Negro Hill and Tinker Ridge, punctuated by a network of one-room schoolhouses like School No 5 and School No 6 that served isolated upland farming communities.
