1943 Map of South Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

South Valley and several outlying rural hamlets define this 1940s landscape in eastern Otsego County. The area shows a high density of rural infrastructure from an earlier era, including numerous one-room schoolhouses like School No 1 and School No 4. The southern edge of the map is dominated by the transportation corridor of the Delaware and Hudson railroad, which passes through East Worcester near Calcutta. The terrain is marked by steep ridges and hollows, such as Honey Hill and Winnie Hollow, which historically dictated the placement of small settlements and family cemeteries. Genealogists can locate several named burial grounds, including Sissum Cem and Ferris Cem, while local historians can trace the paths of old township lines for Roseboom, Decatur, and Worcester.
