1905 Map of Taberg

About this map

Industrial and agricultural activity across the Oneida-Lewis county line is defined by the heavy presence of milling and rail transport at the start of the 20th century. Water power from the East Branch Fish Creek and its many tributaries, including Fall Brook and Furnace Creek, supported operations like Leisher Mill and Swancott Mill. The settlement of Camden serves as a primary hub where the Lehigh Valley RR meets the New York Central and Hudson River RR, facilitating the movement of timber and goods from the uplands near Osceola. Smaller hamlets like Empeyville East Florence PO and Malone Corner dot the landscape, connected by a network of roads that wind around landmarks such as Wickwire Hill and Pond Hill. The map also illustrates the southern extent of the R W and O Div Oswego and Rome Line passing through Blossvale and Mc Connellsville.
