1918 Map of Unadilla

About this map

Unadilla River and Butternut Creek valleys define the geography of this southern New York region, where the convergence of the Susquehanna River at Sidney served as a vital corridor for early 20th-century transport. The map documents a dense network of rural infrastructure, including numerous numbered schoolhouses such as School No 16 and the Warner School, alongside the Friends Meeting House near Rogers Hollow. Rail lines including the New York Ontario and Western and the Delaware and Hudson weave through the valley floors, connecting industrial points like Rockwells Mills and Maywood Sta to larger hubs. This survey provides a meticulous record of the early township boundaries for Guilford, Butternuts, and Sidney, capturing the land before modern highway development bypassed these traditional river-side settlements and upland school districts.
