About this map

Sangerfield River and the high ridges of southern Oneida County define this landscape, surveyed in the first decade of the 1900s. The map captures a vital rail-and-road corridor where the New York Ontario and Western RR and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR converge near Waterville. These rail lines served a network of agricultural hamlets and mill sites such as Mains Mills and Forge Hollow.

The presence of the historic Cherry Valley Turnpike cutting across the center of the sheet reflects the era's primary overland transportation route. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several specific rural landmarks, including the curiously named Tophet Schoolhouse near Cassville and the Bentley Schoolhouse further north. Elevation peaks like Tassel Hill and Hardscrabble Hill overlook a patchwork of townships including Marshall, Paris, and Sangerfield, illustrating the organized settlement patterns of Central New York.
