1943 Map of Oriskany Falls

About this map

The New York Ontario and Western railroad corridor shapes the industrial and transit landscape of this central New York region in the early 1940s. Centered on the village of Oriskany Falls and the borough of Waterville, the map details a settled agricultural valley defined by Oriskany Creek and the southern reaches of Ninemile Swamp. Family-named crossroads like Gibbons Corners and Conger Corners anchor a network of rural routes connecting historic hamlets such as Forge Hollow and Deansboro.
