1955 Map of Remsen

About this map

West Canada Creek and its dramatic Trenton Falls anchor the southeastern corner of this mid-century survey, where the New York Central Railroad tracks follow the valley floor north through the village of Remsen. This landscape is marked by its Welsh heritage and commemorative history, featuring sites like Penn-Y-Bryn Church and the Baron Von Steuben Memorial Park. The area around Trenton Barneveld reveals a complex network of early transportation and burial grounds, including the Olden-Barneveld Cemetery and numerous family or neighborhood plots such as Fuller Cemetery and Cobin Cemetery. Settlement patterns are clustered around traditional hubs like Sixty Corners and Mapledale, while the presence of the Feeder Canal and various quarries points to the region's industrial ties to water power and raw material extraction during this era of New York's interior development.
