1905 Map of Taberg

About this map

The Salmon River and West Branch Fish Creek define the drainage of this Northern New York landscape at the turn of the century. Small industrial pockets like Leisher Mill and Swancott Mill are situated along these waterways, reflecting a period when local timber and milling were central to the rural economy. The southern portion of the map reveals a concentrated rail network, including the New York Central and Hudson River R. R. and the Elmira Cortland and Northern Br, which served as vital lifelines for agricultural and manufacturing hubs like Camden and McConnellsville. Genealogists may find interest in the precise locations of rural crossroads like Malone Corner and the dual-named Empeyville East Florence PO, which highlight the shifting postal identities of early 20th-century Oneida and Lewis counties.
