1942 Map of Sandy Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The New York Central railroad corridor anchors the landscape of southern Jefferson County and northern Oswego County during the early 1940s, connecting the agrarian centers of Pierrepont Manor, Mannsville, Lacona, and Sandy Creek. This survey captures the rural character of the region just before the mid-century, defined by a dense network of local schools such as School No 12 and School No 7, alongside small settlements like Cobblestone Schoolhouse Corners. The terrain is carved by a complex drainage system flowing toward Lake Ontario, including South Sandy Creek, Bear Creek, and Skinner Creek. Local history is preserved in the location of the Brewster Cem and Wesleyan Cem, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogists. The map also documents named heights like Torrey Hill and Shoecraft Hill, which overlook the winding roads and dispersed farmsteads characteristic of this Upstate dairy and timber country.
