1955 Map of Verona

About this map

Verona and the surrounding Oneida County countryside appear here during a period of transition, where mid-century transportation infrastructure overlays the historic water and rail routes of Central New York. The northern landscape is defined by the Sand Plains and the prominent watercourse of Wood Creek, which runs parallel to the Erie Canal and the Old Erie Canal. This convergence of waterways near New London and Stacy Basin illustrates the long-standing importance of this corridor for regional commerce.
