About this map

Sherrill and Kenwood anchor the western edge of this 1948 survey, where the New York Central railroad and the Seneca Turnpike define the region's transport corridor. The landscape is marked by small agricultural hamlets like Vernon Center and Five Chimneys Cor, linked by a dense network of country roads such as Knoxboro Road and Peterboro Road. This topography reveals the intricate water network feeding the area, including Sconondoa Creek and the southern rise of Eaton Hill. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, including the Valley View Cem and the Swinner Cem. The presence of an Airway Beacon and numerous district schools like the Indian Sch and Bennetts Corners Sch highlights the community infrastructure in place just after the post-war period.
