1956 Map of Pennellville

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Oswego River and the Oswego Canal cut through the southwestern corner of this landscape, defining the historic transportation corridor near Phoenix and Hinmansville. Further north, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of wetlands and small agricultural settlements, with Peter Scott Swamp dominating the southern lowlands. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous family-named landmarks and historical burial sites such as the Pennellville Cem and Volney Cem. The map illustrates a shifting rural economy, where an Old Railroad Grade and the Conrail line pass through hamlets like Pennellville and Ingalls Crossing. Unusual features like the Loomis Tower and Radar Tower near Palermo sit alongside community hubs like the Bristol Hill Ch, providing a detailed look at mid-century community infrastructure before modern expansion.
