1947 Map of Remsen

About this map

West Canada Creek and Cincinnati Creek carve through the landscape of Oneida County in the mid-1940s, defining a region where early American history and industrial utility meet. The Baron Von Steuben Monument stands near Sixty Corners, marking the resting place of the "Drillmaster of the American Revolution." This 1945 survey documents the importance of the New York Central railroad, which links the villages of Remsen, Prospect, and Barneveld Station. Near Trenton Falls, the presence of a large Hydroelectric Plant and the Barge Canal Feeder illustrates the era's reliance on water power. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed, identifying numerous country churches and cemeteries like Penn-Y-Caerau Cem and Capel Ucha Ch, reflecting the deep Welsh heritage of these rural communities.
