1947 Map of Westernville

About this map

The Mohawk River dominates this mid-century landscape as it flows through the heart of Oneida County, pooled into the significant Delta Reservoir. The 1947 topography reveals a rural network defined by valley agriculture and upland ridges like Quaker Hill and Mullen Hill. At the reservoir's edge, the Rome Fish Hatchery and several rural burial grounds, including Delta Cem and Evergreen Cem, offer touchstones for local genealogists. The map illustrates a transitional period in upstate New York's water management and land use, where older crossroads like Westernville and Stokes Corner remained active centers of community life.
