1970 Map of West Groton

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Lansing and Groton townships define this rural landscape of central New York, where the Lehigh Valley railroad cuts through the valley of the Owasco Inlet. The map reveals a dense network of nineteenth-century hamlets and crossroads, many named for local families, including Van Ostrand Corners, Munson Corners, and Howland Corners. The presence of the South Lansing School for Girls and the Cornell University Radiation Biology Laboratory indicates a specialized land use pattern near the southern boundary. Farming remains the dominant character of the terrain, though the rugged Bear Swamp and hills like Lobdell Hill break the grid of township roads. Genealogists will find significant value in the identified rural burial grounds, such as Stearns Cem and the Cobb Street Cem, which anchor the histories of the surrounding farmsteads.
