1943 Map of West Groton

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The rural landscapes of Lansing and Groton were documented during World War II, revealing a dense network of crossroads settlements and small schoolhouses that defined central New York during this era. The map shows a transition from the agricultural plateaus of Bone Plains and Bean Hill down toward the steep valley of the Owasco Inlet. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named corners such as Howser Corner, Munson Corners, and Van Ostrand Corner, alongside several distinct burial grounds like Stearns Cem and Lanterman Cem. A rare Grotto and a Gas Well near Terpening Corners indicate the specialized landmarks and early industrial efforts scattered among the upland farms. The prevalence of numbered schoolhouses, from School No 5 to School No 22, reflects the district-school system still intact before mid-century consolidation.
