About this map

South Trenton serves as a central hub in this mid-1940s landscape, where the rural character of northern Oneida County is defined by its early infrastructure and scattered educational sites. The map documents a network of local schools, from School No 10 in the northeast to School No 7 near the western boundary, illustrating the distribution of the population before post-war consolidation. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Marcy Hill and Bell Hill, with the Utica Reservoir providing a critical water source for the nearby city to the south.

Industrial and transportation history is visible through the path of the New York Central railroad and the Feeder Canal, which cuts across the northern fields near Cincinnati Creek. Notable institutional presence is found at the Broadacres Sanatorium, situated on the slopes near Deerfield Heights. This survey, produced through the cooperation of the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Corps of Engineers, provides a detailed record of local roads such as Glass Factory Road and Steuben Road during the final year of the war.
