1943 Map of West Davenport

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Susquehanna River valley life in the early 1940s is defined by the intersection of rail networks and rural school districts across the hills of Delaware and Otsego Counties. The Delaware and Hudson railroad tracks cut through Colliersville and Cooperstown Junction, while the New York Central line parallels Charlotte Creek through the Davenport Valley. This survey captures a specific network of one-room schoolhouses, including School No 12, School No 14, and the Prosser Hollow Sch, that served families in the upland hollows between South Mountain and Webb Hill. Local genealogy is anchored by the McMinn Cem and Charlotte Valley Cem, while the agrarian character of the landscape is punctuated by a lone Mine and settlements like East Meredith and Shackport situated along the winding Ouleout Creek.
