1955 Map of Truxton

About this map

The Tioughnioga River and its East Branch dictate the settlement patterns of this central New York landscape, carving deep valleys between high ridges like South Hill and Morgan Hill. In the mid-1950s, the village of Truxton serves as a local hub where Labrador Creek meets the river, featuring St Patricks Cem and the nearby Crains Mills. The Lehigh Valley railroad line follows the narrow river corridor, passing through East Homer and East River, illustrating the vital connection between rail transport and the dairy-rich valleys of Cortland County. Significant portions of the upland terrain are dedicated to conservation and education, notably the Tully Forest and various tracts of the State Reforestation Area, including land managed for the NY State College of Forestry. This mix of valley-floor agriculture and reforested highlands reflects the mid-century transition of New York's rural land use.
