1952 Map of Windsor

About this map

The Susquehanna River defines the eastern boundary of this mid-century Broome County landscape, flowing south past the village of Windsor. This 1952 field survey captures a transition in communication and transport, marked by the West Windsor Television Tower standing in the hills while the Delaware and Hudson RR tracks parallel the riverbank. Small rural hubs like Occanum, Sanford, and Blatchley are connected by a network of local thoroughfares including Old State Road and Dickenson Street. The topography is dotted with family-named landmarks and essential community institutions, from the Central Sch and Riverside Cem in the river valley to the more remote upland settlements of Flowers and Edson. Water bodies such as Beaver Lake and Hawkins Pond highlight the varied terrain of the Windsor and Colesville townships.
