1943 Map of West Davenport

About this map

Charlotte Creek and the Susquehanna River define the physical and economic geography of this 1943 survey, carving deep valleys between the prominent heights of South Hill and Webb Hill. This era captures a landscape transitioning between agricultural roots and the industrial reach of the Delaware and Hudson and New York Central railroads. The valley floor is punctuated by small settlements like West Davenport and Davenport Center, while the surrounding hills remain dotted with one-room schoolhouses, including School No 12 and the Coe Hill Sch.
