1907 Map of Sangerfield

About this map

Oriskany Falls and Waterville anchor this early twentieth-century survey of the headwaters where the Sangerfield River and Oriskany Creek divide the landscape. The region's development is closely tied to its complex drainage and transportation corridors, including the historic Cherry Valley Turnpike cutting east-west across the central hills. The map captures a high density of rural institutions, particularly schoolhouses like the Bentley Schoolhouse and Tophet Schoolhouse, which served scattered agrarian hamlets such as Brothertown and Forge Hollow.
