1955 Map of Westernville

About this map

Delta Reservoir dominates the central landscape of this Oneida County quadrangle, where the Mohawk River and Lansing Kill converge near the village of Westernville. The terrain is defined by a series of significant elevations including Quaker Hill, Western Hill, and Mc Mullen Hill, which separate the river valleys. The mid-century rural character is evident in the distribution of community institutions such as the Mullen Hill Sch, Stokes Hill Sch, and Canterbury Hill Sch. To the south, the expansion of the U S Military Res Griffiss AFB encroaches upon the historical agricultural areas near Wright Settlement. Genealogists will find numerous family and community landmarks preserved, from the Wells Cem and Rogers Cem to the C&MA Campground and Girl Scout Camp along the reservoir's edge.
