1969 Map of Willseyville

About this map

Danby State Forest dominates this Central New York landscape, which is marked by the steep relief of Durfee Hill and Eastman Hill. In the late 1960s, the region retained its rural character, anchored by small settlements like Danby and Willseyville. Local history is preserved in sites such as the Danby Rural Cem and Lare Cem, while the Lehigh Valley railroad line and an Old Railroad Grade near Caroline trace the path of earlier transportation networks. The topography is defined by narrow creek valleys, including Buttermilk Creek and Willseyville Creek, which carved the drainages between the uplands. Significant community landmarks include the White Church, the Danby Sch, and the Caroline Depot, providing a clear view of the social and transit infrastructure serving these hillside townships.
