About this map

The Susquehanna River valley serves as a primary corridor through this portion of Delaware County, where the village of Unadilla is established at the junction of Martin Brook. This 1943 survey, conducted during the war years, captures the region's heavy reliance on rail transport, featuring the dual paths of the Hudson and Delaware and the New York Ontario and Western railroads. These lines parallel the river and wind through the hills toward Sidney Center, which was also known as Maywood Station.

Local life is anchored by small rural schoolhouses and neighborhood burial grounds, including School No 12 and the Rogers Hollow Cem to the north. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Kilkenny Hill and Vandervort Hill, while numerous hollows like Bundy Hollow and Pine Hollow indicate a landscape carved by small tributaries feeding the larger river system. The map records the precise layout of the Otsego and Delaware county border as it follows the river's course.
