About this map

The Susquehanna River defines the eastern boundary of this mid-century Broome County landscape, where the village of Windsor serves as the primary hub of activity. The topography is dominated by high ridges and narrow valleys, carved by watercourses like Occanum Creek and dotted with several upland bodies of water, including Agfa Lake, Beaver Lake, and Hawkins Pond. The 1952 field check documents a dense network of rural roads such as Honey Hollow Road and Sugar Bush Road, connecting small outlying settlements and farming communities.

Local historians and genealogists can find numerous legacy sites, including several burial grounds like Knox Cem and Riverside Cem, and the Central Sch in the village center. The map details the transition from the river lowlands to the higher elevations toward the Colesville-Windsor and Windsor-Kirkwood town lines, recording small place names such as Flowers, Occanum, and Edson that anchor the local geography of the era.
