1943 Map of Oriskany Falls

Transitioning toward the east, the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad enters Waterville, a prominent hop-growing and commercial center. This 1943 survey, based on 1942 aerial photography, documents a network of named corners and rural outposts such as Gibbons Corners and Forge Hollow before postwar expansion altered these crossroads. The steep relief of Sanger Hill and Grant Hill brackets the agricultural valleys, showing the persistent influence of terrain on local settlement patterns.
